The Way Out of Berkeley Square - Rosemary Tonks - Bog

'I'm thirty, and I'm stuck'Arabella is on an increasingly desperate quest for freedom, from her overbearing father and her overtly absent brother. But her quest for self-actualisation ends up leading her into the orbit of a happily married man. The opening moves of their love affair are a spiky and self-conscious game of chess. Complete with rainy London streets, awful food, devastating kisses and agonising introspection, this is pure Rosemary Tonks.`Writing like this¿is far too beautiful and accomplished to be kept off the shelf. It catches like nothing else the smogs, the rodentine genes, the murky post-War grays, the lurking sexual violence of London¿ Michael Hoffman, Poetry Foundation
