Download or read book At Lady Molly s written by Anthony Powell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Powell’s universally acclaimed epic A Dance to the Music of Time offers a matchless panorama of twentieth-century London. Now, for the first time in decades, readers in the United States can read the books of Dance as they were originally published—as twelve individual novels—but with a twenty-first-century twist: they’re available only as e-books. As the fourth book, At Lady Molly’s (1957), opens, the heady pleasures of the 1920s have begun to give way to the austerity and worries of the 1930s. Even so, the whirl of London life continues: friends commit to causes and to spouses, confess adulteries, and fall victim to dissipation and disillusion. As Nick moves ever more comfortably in the worlds of art, culture, and society, Powell’s palette broadens: old friends make appearances, but new ones take places on the stage as well—including Isobel Tolland, whom Nick knows at first sight he’s destined to marry. "Anthony Powell is the best living English novelist by far. His admirers are addicts, let us face it, held in thrall by a magician."--ChicagoTribune "A book which creates a world and explores it in depth, which ponders changing relationships and values, which creates brilliantly living and diverse characters and then watches them grow and change in their milieu. . . . Powell's world is as large and as complex as Proust's."--Elizabeth Janeway, New YorkTimes "One of the most important works of fiction since the Second World War. . . . The novel looked, as it began, something like a comedy of manners; then, for a while, like a tragedy of manners; now like a vastly entertaining, deeply melancholy, yet somehow courageous statement about human experience."--Naomi Bliven, New Yorker “The most brilliant and penetrating novelist we have.”--Kingsley Amis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When is doing the right thing the wrong thing to do? In a perfect world the answer would be never, but the world is seldom perfect—a hard lesson with tragic consequences for five-year-old molly and her family in a sleepy rural town. It’s 1955, a time of seeming innocence and simplicity, but behind closed doors, terrible cruelties are taking place—its victim helpless to protect herself. Seeking comfort and at least some measure of independence at a neighboring farmhouse, Nell takes on the role of farmhand, in spite of her youth and gender, and impresses everyone with her strength and reliability. At least at first. For Molly, who sees Nell as a best friend, big sister, and even a surrogate mother of sorts, it’s inconceivable that someone so sweet could bring so much bitterness and desolation into her life. She has no idea what’s coming. As her tragic home life begins to impact her work, and draw attention to her vulnerability, everything begins to unravel. Unfortunately, under the seemingly idyllic surface, things in the farmhouse are also far from perfect, with mental illness, resentment, and disillusionment threatening to tear the young family apart at it’s core. maretjohanson.com
