Описание: Harrower was right about In Certain Circles being well written, but surely wrong to take its superb style for granted, as if mere literary muscle memoryThe book belongs with her best work, with The Watch Tower and The Long Prospect It] is more explicit than Harrower s earlier work about ideological tensions between men and women. It is also broader in scope and not as angrywiser and less hopeless. James Wood, New Yorker
Like a treasure from an unearthed time capsuleHarrower is one of the great Australian writers of the postwar era...Harrowers fearsome objectivity and her bristling, beautiful prose come from modernist masters like Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth BowenZoes struggle, her suffering, her hard-earned knowledge are sharp and alive. You feel the book must have been written last week rather than last century. Wall St Journal
With its flavor of Henry James, Harrowers rediscovered story is an odd, brittle yet impressive piece of work that exposes the complex passions beneath a drawing-room-scenario surface.Kirkus Reviews
Harrower s prose is watchful, witty, unillusioned, exultant. Its healthful vitality vivid, accurate, alive to irony is a dashing stand against its subject matter: human perversity, so often squalid, senseless, swallowing all meaning. The reader marvels at its balance, its sinuousness, as each fresh wave hits.There is a note of elegy in all of Harrower s work, even as the adrenaline flows, and a lyricism reminiscent of F.Scott Fitzgerald at his desperate best. Times Literary Supplement
In Certain Circles is the novel Elizabeth Harrower wrote after the release of The Watch Tower. The author withdrew this novel before publication in 1971, and it has languished in a library for four decades.

In Certain Circles is an intense psychological drama about family and love, tyranny, and freedom. Set amid the lush gardens and grand stone houses that line the north side of Sydney Harbour, it follows the lives of four unforgettable characters whose fates are intertwined.

Harrower is one of Australias most important postwar writers. Never before published, In Certain Circles is one of the most anticipated releases of the season. Texts Classic edition of The Watch Tower has been reviewed in literary pages across the globe.
