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.

The book delves into the history of Camp Forrest, a significant military facility in Tennessee during World War II. Initially a training site for over 70,000 soldiers, it evolved into one of the first civilian internment camps for enemy aliens in the U.S. and later became a POW camp for German and Italian soldiers. Following the war, the camp was decommissioned in 1946 and transformed into the Arnold Engineering Development Complex in 1951. The narrative captures the impact of global conflict on American society, illustrated through historical images of the site.
A humorous and compassionate look at friendship between an old woman and a young man.
A classic tale of fantasy and self-delusion from one of the most acclaimed British novelists of the twentieth century.
In this novel, first published in 1964, Elizabeth Taylor skilfully and subtly demonstrates the terrible danger of self-love, most deadly to those who live within its shadow.
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.
