Jenkins, Elizabeth
'Weißt du denn so genau, in wen Männer sich verlieben?' Dass ihr Mann Evelyn, wenn er am Wochenende aus London zur Familie aufs Land kommt, immer öfter mit Nachbarin Blanche plaudert, hat nichts zu bedeuten, da ist Imogen sich sicher. Schließlich ist die alleinstehende, bodenständige Blanche um einiges älter als die aparte, feinfühlige Imogen, stets in praktischen Tweed gekleidet und geht gerne jagen und fischen - eine Frau, die Imogen locker in den Schatten stellt. Doch als Evelyn immer mehr Zeit mit Blanche verbringt, muss sie sich fragen, ob sie sich da nicht täuscht ...Sind Schönheit und Jugend wirklich entscheidend, wenn wir uns verlieben? Elizabeth Jenkins' Roman, 1954 erschienen und hier erstmals ins Deutsche übersetzt, begeistert mit einem herrlich wachen, ungewöhnlichen Blick auf diese Frage - eine mitreißende Entdeckung.

The Tortoise And The Hare
Jenkins, Elizabeth
The re-dipping of dishes was a small matter, but the emotional texture of married life is made up of small matters. This one had become invested with a fatal quality.<BR><BR>Imogen, the beautiful and much younger wife of distinguished barrister Evelyn Gresham, is facing the greatest challenge of her married life. Their neighbour Blanche Silcox, competent, middle-aged and tweedy - the very opposite of Imogen - seems to be vying for Evelyn's attention. And to Imogen's increasing disbelief, she may be succeeding. With exquisite elegance and irony, The Tortoise and the Hare reveals that in affairs of the heart, the race is not always won by the swift - or the fair.<BR><BR>INTRODUCED BY HILARY MANTEL<BR> <BR> 'The perfection of its tone and prose is matched by an anguished wit' AMANDA CRAIG, GUARDIAN<BR> <BR> 'Wonderfully sinister, so enchantingly written and so sad. Everyone should read it' JILLY COOPER<BR> <BR> 'A subtle and beautiful book . . . Very few authors combine her acute psychological insight with her grace and style' HILARY MANTEL
