Review:
Mrs Taylor never disappoints and this time gives us a wonderfully well-observed, compassionately funny glimpse into the lives of the inhabitants of a faded seaside harbour, shortly after the war. If their lives are mundane, there still seems to be a lot going on, all observed by dreadful, bed-ridden Mrs Bracey, proprietor of the second-hand clothes shop - who doesn't miss a thing from her upstairs window. Elizabeth Taylor paints a wonderful picture of female friendship between Beth, distracted lady novelist/ terrible housewife/neglectful mother and her nextdoor neighbour Tory - who is Beth's old schoolfriend, chic, divorced, and playing a dangerous game with her best friend's husband.
Nothing happens and everything happens - behind the harbour's net curtains, there is passion and betrayal, loneliness, loyalty, the dreadful vitality of the dying Mrs Bracey, the adolescent droopiness of Beth's daughter ... and you finish, as always with Elizabeth Taylor, wishing you could meet them all again in five years time and find out what happened to them all after the last page!
