About this Book
Synopsis
Set against what Drabble sees as the spiritual wasteland of British life in the mid-1970s, this is the story of a television producer fighting off ennui who goes into real estate speculation and faces financial ruin. His long-time lover Alison, after a life of devotion to her cerebral palsy-afflicted daughter, finds she no longer has a role. The story is presented in first-person narratives alternating with vignettes of everyday life of the period.

Industry Reviews
"[This] remarkably fine book...takes its life from the best traditions of the nineteenth-century novel: elaborate plotting, coincidence, meaningful resolution--and it has a surface vitality that comes from pure, old-fashioned narrative skill....The social context is like Hardy, the interlocking lives she's borrowed from Dickens, the chain of circumstances from Charlotte Bronte."
New York Times Book Review - Maureen Howard (10/09/1977)

"There are no paper people in Margaret Drabble's books."
Washington Post Book World - Anne Tyler (10/23/1977)
