Synopsis
Elizabeth Harrower is one of the literary finds of the decade: The Watch Tower (Text, 2013) and the lost classic In Certain Circles (Text, 2014) have been rightly praised by critics and the public alike. Now comes the latest reissue from Harrower's back catalogue, 1979's The Catherine Wheel.

About the Author
Elizabeth Harrower was born in Sydney in 1928 and moved to London in 1951. She traveled extensively and began to write fiction. Her first novel Down in the City was published in 1957, and was followed by The Long Prospect a year later. In 1959 she returned to Sydney where she began working for the ABC and as a book reviewer for the Sydney Morning Herald. In 1960 she published The Catherine Wheel, the story of an Australian law student in London, her only novel not set in Sydney.
The Watch Tower appeared in 1966. No further novels were published until May 2014 when Harrower's 'lost' novel, In Certain Circles, was released. Her work is austere, intelligent, ruthless in its perceptions about men and women. She was admired by many of her contemporaries, including Patrick White and Christina Stead, and is without doubt among the most important writers of the postwar period in Australia. Elizabeth Harrower lives in Sydney.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The wind from Siberia as announced by the BBC came down Bayswater Road from the direction of Marble Arch.Searing skin, and petrifying metal and wood, it took possession of London and this early day of the new year. Gently, somehow sympathetically, with a secret sort of throb, my ears ached against it, but rather more drearily and with a sense of injustice my eyes watered as I narrowed them at the steely dark sky and swirling smoke. The centre of the universe! The brilliance of the winter season!Twenty-five-year-old Clemency James has moved from Sydney to a chilly bedsit on the other side of the world. During the day she studies for the bar by correspondence; in the evenings she gives French lessons to earn a meagre wage. When she meets Christian, a charismatic would-be actor, she can see he's trouble-not least because he's involved with an older woman who has children. She is drawn to him nonetheless- drawn into his world of unpayable debts and wild promises.First published in 1960, The Catherine Wheel is Elizabeth Harrower's third novel and the only one of her books not set in Australia. In it she turns her unflinching gaze on the grim realities of 1950s London, and the madness that can infect couples.'I love The Watch Tower, but I love The Catherine Wheel more. Like all the Harrower books, with their psychological mysteries, their droll humour, their brilliant language and ear for voices, The Catherine Wheel takes your hand from the first page and beckons you in.' Ramona Koval Clemency James falls for the unpredictable Christian, and what follows is a relationship of intensity and conflict powerfully described.
