    About this ebook

    From the Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall, a breathtakingly intelligent novel that asks enormous questions. Ralph and Anna Eldred live in the big Red House in Norfolk, raising their four children and devoting thier lives to charity. The constant flood of children plucked from the squalor of the East London streets for a breath of fresh countryside air hides the growing crises in thier own family. Memories of thier time as missionaries in South Africa and Botswana, of the terrible African tragedies that have shaped the rest of their lives, refuse to be put to rest and threaten to destroy the fragile peace they have built for themselves and their children.

      Nov 16, 2022

      Sylvia Townsend Warner's Lolly Willowes is a tale of witchery, devilment and transformation. What starts as a beady, satirical comedy of manners about a poor and eccentric middle-aged spinster dependent on her relations takes a sudden turn into chaos

      last part about africa and return interestingwhole first half of book in present, do not know what happened in past, boring
    • 4/5
      I have just recently discovered Hilary Mantel so am such a fan that I think I would enjoy anything she has written. More than just telling a story, she creates an atmosphere, aka "climate," and the reader becomes immersed in the world of the characters. What more can an author hope to do.
