- Summary:
- Summer in London, warm, sensual - a time for falling in love. The various inhabitants of 3 Brabbington Terrace all feel the pull of passion: Billie, the divorced Irish landlady, who embarks on an affair with the son of her best friend; Susan, the jilted Cockney nurse and her flatmate, Anne; Goldie, the Russian emigre virtuoso pianist. These are only a few of the many fascinating personalities whose interwoven lives make Love in Another Room such a rare treat to read. Clairr O'Connor fills her opulent novel with an array of well-observed and sympathetically portrayed characters, both young and old. The locations, which include Crete, Moscow and St. Petersburg as well as the 'flower of cities all', are delineated with a witty and memorable precision. Love and desire, which leap all barriers, have rarely been better understood or so well expressed.
