The Beautiful Visit by Elizabeth Jane Howard
A profound exploration of youth at a time of war, The Beautiful Visit is the debut novel from the author of the Cazalet Chronicles, Elizabeth Jane Howard.
Interesting and original. . Howard has true imagination and a kind of sensuous power. She creates a wonderful atmosphere of uneasiness and oppression; she can also draw scenes with ironic brilliance: hers seems to me to be a remarkable talent. -- Antonia White, author of Frost in May * New Statesman *
Her talent seemed so effervescent, so unstoppable, that there was no predicting where it might take her -- Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall
