The Peppered Moth

Autor Margaret Drabble
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 iun 2001
It is 1905, and Bessie is a small child living in a South Yorkshire mining town. Unusually gifted, she sits quietly and studies hard, waiting for the day when she can sit the Cambridge entrance exam and escape the way of life her ancestors have never even thought to question. At the other end of the century her granddaughter, Faro, is listening to a lecture on genetic inheritance. She has returned to the town where her grandmother grew up and sees the families who have lived there for longer than anyone can remember. But for all her exotic ancestry and glamour, has she really travelled any further than them?

Recenzii

Praise for The Witch of Exmoor
"A novelist . . . who will have done for late twentieth-century London what Dickens did for Victorian London."-The New York Times

"Drabble skewers the egotism of her characters and of the society they inhabit with subtle humor and elegant psychological analysis . . . proves herself a master of the art."-Los Angeles Times

"Part mystery, part fairy tale . . . with a wicked, dead-on wit."-People

Praise for The Radiant Way
"The sprawling, dazzling pluralism of her novel is meant to illustrate the glimmering interconnectedness of all humanity."-The New Yorker

"This novel marks another step in one of the most interesting careers in contemporary letters. . . . It not only engrosses; it works."-Time

Praise for A Natural Curiosity
"-A masterly tapestry of characters and events . . . Drabble's fiction has achieved a panoramic vision of contemporary life."-Chicago Tribune

"It is Drabble's story that beguiles us. Her main characters, successful people in relatively full possession of their lives, can still be surprised, and frequently are."-The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
