Описание: The figure of Mrs. Trenchard is the monumental figure of this novel. In her, an inexpressive and apparently commonplace woman, is concentrated all the jealous tenacity of a strong parent who is unwilling to let go her child. Her strength lies mainly in her ability, as the unsympathetic see it, to impose terms on the creative possibilities of those she loves, and she singles out the considerate Katherine as the person whose destiny she wills to govern. When Katherine consents to be engaged for a year, she realizes the necessity of paying any reasonable price to hold her mother and the Trenchards, to win them to Phil. But the mother is like most dominant family-centered mothers, she has no ultimate respect for her daughter's will. She knows better than her daughter. And Katherine is forced in the end to break the adjustment that was forged for love through years.

Описание: The book opens just before Christmas, many years ago. In the city of Polchester there was an old rickety building on the rock above an old grass-grown square. The house was a windy, creaky, rain-bitten place where three old ladies lived as tenants, including Miss Beringer, who moved in the day before.

Описание: The book begins: There was a certain window between the kitchen and the pantry that was Hamlet's favorite. Thirty years ago-these chronicles are of the year 1894-the basements of houses in provincial English towns, even of large houses owned by rich people, were dark, chill, odorful caverns hissing with ill-burning gas and smelling of ill-cooked cabbage. The basement of the Coles' house in Polchester was as bad as any other, but this little window between the kitchen and the pantry was higher in the wall than the other basement windows, almost on a level with the iron railings beyond it, and offering a view down over Orange Street and, obliquely, sharp to the right and past the Polchester High School, a glimpse of the Cathedral towers themselves.

Описание: My homeward course led up a long ascent, Where the road's watery surface, to the top Of that sharp rising, glittered to the moon And bore the semblance of another stream Stealing with silent lapse to join the brook That murmured in the vale. All else was still: No living thing appeared in earth or air, And, save the flowing water's peaceful voice, Sound there was none-but lo an uncouth shape...

Описание: This belongs to the Man With The Red Hair Walpole, and is again a story of a sadist, in this instance a grandfather with an overweening ego and a thirst for a gratification of his sense of power. The boy's mother, his aunt, the boy himself are prey to his madness, and the story gathers momentum until they are forced to escape from the setting which gives him his power. It's a skilful build-up of atmosphere and suspense.-Kirkus Review.
