Henry Green
Doting
Ebook (EPUB Format)
While in Loving, Henry Green explored the baffling exhilarations of romance, and particularly romance below stairs, with a kind of bemused detachment, in his final novel Doting, he reflects a more resigned view, that of a long-married man observing love less as passion than as a set of habits. Arthur and Diana Middleton are middle-aged, upper-middle-class couple in post-Second-World-War London who become both painfully and farcically aware of the limitations of their lives together. The main object of their doting maybe their only son Peter, but Arthur's weakness for Annabel, a young lady of Peter's generation, brings the family to a crisis.…

While in Loving, Henry Green explored the baffling exhilarations of romance, and particularly romance below stairs, with a kind of bemused detachment, in his final novel Doting, he reflects a more resigned view, that of a long-married man observing love less as passion than as a set of habits. Arthur and Diana Middleton are middle-aged, upper-middle-class couple in post-Second-World-War London who become both painfully and farcically aware of the limitations of their lives together. The main object of their doting maybe their only son Peter, but Arthur's weakness for Annabel, a young lady of Peter's generation, brings the family to a crisis. Doting, a novel told almost entirely through dialogue, is among the most elegiac, most bitter-sweet of Henry Green's novels, and like his other wholly distinctive books, a small classic.
