Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. 'A very good novel indeed about the fragility and also the tenacity of love' commented the Spectator recently about this 1953 novel by Dorothy Whipple, which was ignored fifty years ago because 'editors are going mad for action and passion' (as she was told by her publisher). But this last novel by a writer whose books had previously been bestsellers is outstandingly good by any standards. Apparently 'a fairly ordinary tale about the destruction of a happy marriage' (Nina Bawden in the Preface) yet 'it makes compulsive reading' in its description of an ordinary family ('Ellen was that unfashionable creature, a happy housewife') struck by disaster when the husband, in a moment of weak, mid-life vanity, runs off with a French girl. Dorothy Whipple is a superb stylist, with a calm intelligence in the tradition of Mrs Gaskell (both wrote in the Midlands and had similar preoccupations). 'The prose is simple, the psychology spot on' said the Telegraph, and John Sandoe Books commented: 'We have all delighted in this unjustly forgotten novel; it is well written and compelling.' 'A very good novel indeed' (Spectator), first published in 1953, about an Englishman's tragic destruction of his previously happy marriage. Preface by Nina Bawden.

Trade Paperback. Zustand: Mint. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Mint. First Thus. This copy is in mint, seemingly unread condition in a mint unclipped dustwrapper. Persephone Books reprints neglected fiction and non-fiction by mid-twentieth century writers. These books are intelligent, thought-provoking and beautifully written. Their list includes novels, short stories, diaries, memoirs and cookery books; each has an elegant uniform grey jacket and colourful endpapers with a matching bookmark, Each title has a new preface by writers such as Jilly Cooper, David Kynaston and Elaine Showalter. Someone at a Distance is one of those novels that overtime was forgotten and lay languishing in some dusty corner of the literary world until those wise people at Persephone Books reissued it as number three in their Classics series. The story is a classic one. It's all about relationships; be it those within marriage and family or those within the community and the workplace. It's about how they impact on who we are and on the decisions we make. It's about their formation and their breakdown. It's about how someone at a distance can affect the lives of people they never even meet. Ref NNN 7. …
