Reviews The prose is so evocative that I blinked occasionally when I realized the page in front of me was white, and not the faded green of velvet curtains and overgrown gardens. The book feels like a Christmas dinner: rich, heavy extravagant, lush - and traditional in a way that no one would dream of objecting to. - The New York Times Book Review A rich comic, tender evocation of Ireland's dwindling, splendid Anglo-Irish....Fine and poignant. - Kirkus Reviews If the author of Castle Rackrent and Belinda has a contemporary heir, that may well be Annabel Davis-Goff, whose fine new novel, The Dower House, refracts some of the world she depicted in her 1989 Memoir Walled Gardens...Davis-Goff is a find. The Dower House may depict a damp and worn-out world, but the novel itself stays crisp and invigorating. - Washington Post Book World Available in paperback and hardcover (shown). |
