Elizabeth Taylorová Knihy
3. júl 1912 – 19. november 1975
Táto obľúbená anglická prozaička a autorka poviedok s obratnosťou zachytáva nuansy „každodenného“ života. Jej prenikavé, avšak láskyplné zobrazenia anglického života strednej a vyššej strednej triedy si získali publikum náročných čitateľov a verných priateľov vo svete literatúry. V priebehu rokov bola Taylorová porovnávaná s takými majsterkami ako Jane Austenová a Barbara Pymová, pričom bola ocenená pre svoj jedinečný štýl, ktorý preniká do psychológie postáv a ich medziľudských vzťahov.

Spending the holiday with friends, as she has for many years, Camilla finds that their private absorptions - Frances with her painting and Liz with her baby - seem to exclude her from the gossipy intimacies of previous summers. Anxious that she will remain encased in her solitary life as a school secretary, Camilla steps into an unlikely liaison with Richard Elton, a handsome, assured - and dangerous - liar.

Mrs Lippincote's house, with its mahogany furniture and yellowing photographs, stands as a reminder of all the certainties that have vanished with the advent of war. Temporarily, this is home for Julia, who has joined her husband Roddy at the behest of the RAF. Although she can accept the pomposities of service life, Julia's honesty and sense of humor prevent her from taking her role as seriously as her husband, that leader of men, might wish; for Roddy, merely love cannot suffice - he needs homage as well as admiration. And Julia, while she may be a most unsatisfactory officer's wife, is certainly no hypocrite.An Alternate Cover for this edition can be found here.
