Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Last in the Frost in May series, this delicate but powerful novel traces the descent of Clara Batchelor into madness . . . In many ways this is the most impressive of the series, with its bewilderingly honest portrayal of the breakdown of a woman and an artist. Clara's story is partly drawn from White's own collapse, her relationship with Catholicism and the influence of her adored but repressive father (GUARDIAN)

An extraordinarily perceptive and yet detached account of the descent into madness (GOOD HOUSEKEEPING)

Antonia White's true brilliance as a writer emerges (NEW STATESMAN)

Reseña del editor:

Clara Batchelor is twenty-two. Her brief, doomed marriage to Archie over, she returns to her parents home hoping for comfort. However, it is a Catholic home, and its confines form a dangerous glass wall of guilt and repression between Clara and the outside world. Clara both longs for and fears what lies beyond yet when she escapes into an exhilarating and passionate love affair her fragile identity cracks.

An extraordinary, courageous portrayal of a woman's descent into madness, Beyond The Glass is a brilliant novel which completes Antonia White's wonderful Frost in May Quartet.
