Description:
A marriage unraveled, a life reimagined: Elizabeth Jane Howard paints a timeless portrait of love, loss and resilience.


Elizabeth Jane Howard's The Closer Look tells the story of forty-three-year-old Antonia Fleming, who in 1950s London is faced with the prospect of living out her life alone. Her children are now grown and have their own concerns; her overbearing and emotionally complex husband, Conrad, has announced his intention of leaving her. As Antonia looks to her future, the novel moves steadily backwards in time, following Antonia's relationship with Conrad from back to front. Through years of dreams and war, infidelity and motherhood, to the turbulent, ill-considered beginning of their union in the 1920s. The Closer Look is an extraordinarily authentic portrait of a woman and a marriage, a heartbreaking account of the death and birth of a relationship. It is both exceptional and timeless. The early masterpiece of the author of The Cazalets.
