內容簡介: |
First published in 1953, The Echoing Grove is one of Rosamond
Lehmann''s most acclaimed novels, and tells of three characters,
Rickie Masters, his wife Madeleine, and her sister Dinah. Rickie''s
premature death leaves the two sisters in uneasy communion, for his
death has made widows of them both. For many years, Dinah, exotic
and sensual, has conducted a clandestine affair with Rickie; and
Madeleine, calm and resolute, has accepted that her marriage has
been of limited success.With extraordinary insight, Lehmann
explores the sublimity and the pain of these fatally interrelated
lives in her magnifient novel.
