Opis

First published in 1959, "The Centre of the Green" is John Bowen's third novel. The story centres around the Baker family: the father Justin is a retired Colonel, the mother, Teresa, is over-possessive and refuses to admit that her sons have grown-up, the sons Julian and Charles, one is a married advertising copywriter with a penchant for extra-marital affairs while the other is withdrawn and suicidal, desperately looking for human contact in the vast anonymity of London.It is Julian's involvement with a seventeen-year-old girl that sparks the chain of events that eventually encompasses the whole family. The scene shifts between Devonshire, London and Majorca as each member of the family searches for a resolution to the impasse into which they have drifted and struggle to regain the family ties that they once had. A subtle, intelligent and compassionate novel, "The Centre of the Green" was commended by the "Observer" for its 'admirable vitality,' while the "Spectator" described it as 'a series of expertly managed shocks'.
