To The North: Elisabeth Bowen - Softcover
Portrays the classic romantic entanglement of an honest, well-meaning young woman who cannot resist becoming involved with a man who is patently caddish and predatory. This takes place in contrast to the unromantic preoccupations of the young woman's sister-in-law, who is always near at hand.

Review:
"To the North and The Death of the Heart are among the finest novels of her generation" (V.S. Pritchett)
"A lavishness of imagination is brought to bear upon small moments, and the writing is of such intensity that a character is revealed in one expression, a way of life disclosed in a single scene" (Peter Ackroyd Sunday Times)
"Haunting novels of bad faith and betrayal" (Guardian)
"She startles us by sheer originality of mind and boldness of sensibility into seeking our world afresh...Out of the plainest things - the drawing of a curtain - she can make something electric and urgent" (V.S. Pritchett)
