وصف الكتاب | Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.' Gauguin's aphorism serves as the motto for this morality tale of two women, both in their sixties, whose lives are interwoven in ways neither of them yet understand. Madeline Palmer is a retired curator, living alone on the Isle of Wight. One day to her door comes Angela Beale, a woman she has met only once, who is now enjoying sudden success, late in life, as a popular novelist. The progress of a single night comes fascinatingly to echo the hidden course of their lives. |
المراجعة التحريرية | David Hare has been described by The Times as 'Britain's leading contemporary playwright' and by the New York Post as 'one of the few major playwrights in our language'. |
