INTRODUCED BY VALERIE MARTIN'Elizabeth Taylor is finally being recognised as an important British author: an author of great subtlety, great compassion and great depth' SARAH WATERS'Witty, hilarious, astringent, devastating - her impeccable style can do anything and with such seemingly effortless ease' NEEL MUKHERJEE'Jane Austen, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Pym, Elizabeth Bowen - soul-sisters all' ANNE TYLERMrs Lippincote's house, with its mahogany furniture and yellowing photographys, 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 humour prevent her from taking her role as seriously as her husband, that leader of men, might wish. But Julia, while she may be a most unsatisfactory officer's wife, is certainly no hypocrite.

Über den Autor
Elizabeth Taylor (1912-1975) is increasingly recognised as one of the best British writers of the twentieth century. She wrote her first book, At Mrs Lippincote's, during the war while her husband was in the Royal Air Force, and this was followed by eleven further novels and a children's book, Mossy Trotter. Her acclaimed short stories appeared in publications including Vogue, the New Yorker and Harper's Bazaar.
