A Far Cry from Kensington by Muriel Spark
Set on the crazier fringes of 1950s literary London, A Far Cry from Kensington is a delight, hilariously portraying love, fraud, death, evil, and transformation.
"The divine Spark is shining at her brightest--pure delight" -- Independent
"A 1950s Kensington of shabby-genteel bedsitters, espresso bars...irradiated with the sudden glows of lyricism she can so beautifully effect." -- Sunday Times [London]
"The plot arrow is large and sharp and accurate. There's crazies, death, fist-fighting, insults, medical emergencies, injustice ... hoodoo and more." -- Stephen Hanulec - Glyph Jockey
