About the Author:
The 1970s was a decade of anger and discontent. Britain endured power cuts and strikes. America pulled out of Vietnam and saw its President resign from office. Feminism and face lifts vied for women's hearts (and minds).And for many, prog rock, punk and disco weren't just music but ways of life.
Penelope Lively's Treasures of Time was published in 1979, and marked the arrival on the scene of an important novelist who already had a reputation as a fine writer for children. Ths book is an acutely observed study of marriage and manipulation. When the BBC want to make a documentary about acclaimed archaeologist Hugh Paxton, his widow Laura, daughter Kate and her fiancé Tom are a little nervous: digging up the past can also disturb the present...
With a new introduction by Selina Hastings
