Crusoe's Daughter
Autor Jane Gardamen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 apr 2012
In 1904, six-year-old Polly Flint is sent to live with her aunt’s in a house by the sea. Orphaned shortly thereafter, Polly will spend the next eighty years stranded in this quiet corner of the world as 20th century rages in the background. Throughout it all Polly returns again and again to the story of Robinson Crusoe, who, marooned like her, fends off the madness of isolation with imagination.
Like previous Gardam titles will skew to female readers and Anglophiles. An ideal choice for book clubs.

Recenzii
She does fiction as it should be done, with confidence and insight
In 1904, when she was six, Polly Flint went to live with her two holy aunts at the yellow house by the marsh - so close to the sea that it seemed to toss like a ship, so isolated that she might have been marooned on an island. And there she stayed for eighty-one years, while the century raged around her, while lamplight and Victorian order became chaos and nuclear dred. Crusoe's Daughter, ambitious, moving and wholly original, is her story.
'Jane Gardam is at her most characteristic and briliant' Victoria Glendinning, Sunday Times
'Engaging and witty' Observer
'Touching, terribly sad, funny: a smashing novel' The Times
'Fresh and vivid . . . comic, touching, eccentric' TLS
