Описание:

An exquisite writer, a writer s writer, with a fine eye for detail and a way of crafting sentences that make you stop and inhale . . . Hadley should be a bestseller rather than literary fiction s best kept secret. The Times (London)

Three sisters and a brother, complete with children, a new wife, and an ex-boyfriend s son, descend on their grandparents dilapidated old home in the Somerset countryside for a final summer holiday, where simmering tensions and secrets rise to the surface over three long, hot weeks.The house is full of memories of their childhood and their past their mother took them there to live when she left their father but now, they may have to sell it. And beneath the idyllic pastoral surface lie tensions.

Sophisticated and sleek, Roland s new wife (his third) arouses his sisters jealousies and insecurities.Kasim, the twenty-year-old son of Alice s ex-boyfriend, becomes enchanted with Molly, Roland s sixteen-year-old daughter. Fran s young children make an unsettling discovery in an abandoned cottage in the woods that shatters their innocence. Passion erupts where it s least expected, leveling the quiet self-possession of Harriet, the eldest sister. As the family s stories and silences intertwine, small disturbances build into familial crises, and a way of life bourgeois, literate, ritualized, Anglican winds down to its inevitable end.

Over five novels and two collections of stories, Tessa Hadley has earned a reputation as a fiction writer of remarkable gifts. She brings all of her considerable skill to The Past, a work of breathtaking scope and beauty her most ambitious and accomplished novel yet."

Описание:

Clever Girl is an indelible story of one woman's life, unfolded in a series of beautifully sculpted episodes that illuminate an era, moving from the 1960s to today, from one of Britain's leading literary lights--Tessa Hadley--the author of the New York Times Notable Books Married Love and The London Train.

Like Alice Munro and Colm T ibin, Tessa Hadley brilliantly captures the beauty, innocence, and irony of ordinary lives--an ability to transform the mundane into the sublime that elevates domestic fiction to literary art.

Written with the celebrated precision, intensity, and complexity that have marked her previous works, Clever Girl is a powerful exploration of family relationships and class in modern life, witnessed through the experiences of an English woman named Stella. Unfolding in a series of snapshots, Tessa Hadley's moving novel follows Stella from the shallows of childhood, growing up with a single mother in a Bristol bedsit in the 1960s, into the murky waters of middle age.

Clever Girl is a story vivid in its immediacy and rich in drama--violent deaths, failed affairs, broken dreams, missed chances. Yet it is Hadley's observations of everyday life, her keen skill at capturing the ways men and women think and feel and relate to one another, that dazzles.

Описание: Stella was a clever girl, everyone thought so. Living with her mother and rather unsatisfactory stepfather in suburban respectability she reads voraciously, smokes until her voice is hoarse and dreams of a less ordinary life. When she meets Val, he seems to her to embody everything she longs for - ideas, excitement and the thrill of the unknown.

Описание: Separates the nonsense from the fabulous and shows that falling in love with an It bag doesn`t mean you have the IQ of an It girl. This book shows how to wear shorts without looking like an extra in "Hamlet", what to spend money on, and what not to, and why only harpists should wear velvet.
