Items related to A World of Love (Modern Classics)
A packet of letters, found in an attic, leads young Jane into the world of love. The attic is in Montefort, a corroding country house in County Cork, which harbours a collection of people held there by ties of kinship or habit, and haunted by the memory of its former owner. During a hot and dry summer, Jane pursues her romantic imaginings, while not far off the rich, promiscuous Lady Latterly waits to play her part in Jane's awakening.

Review:
"One of her best books. I delighted in its blend of nature and art, in the way that its penetrating insight into character is irradiated and made beautiful by the shimmering rainbow light of her humour" (Sunday Times)
"A major writer: her name should appear on any responsible list of the ten most important fiction writers in English on this side of the Atlantic in this century" (Victoria Glendinning)
"Concise, intense and emotional" (BBC Arts)
