Стелла Гиббонс — библиография

Creepy. Peculiar. Fairy. Goblin. Liar. Weirdo. Crank. Genius. No one knows what to make of Juliet Slater, not even her mother. And clothes, boys, school, friends, the changing seasons and what other people think - none of these things seem to matter to Juliet. She spends hours in her room with incomprehensible mathematical text books, her mind voyaging in strange seas of thought, alone. Is she a genius? It might take the rest of her life to find out. While Stella Gibbons was celebrated for her beloved bestseller Cold Comfort Farm, the manuscript for Pure Juliet lay unseen and forgotten until it was brought to light by her family in 2014,…

On the dunes west of Bruges, two-year-old Ydette is found wrapped in a blanket and taken back to live in a small grocer's shop. Opposite the shop live the wealthy van Roeslaere family and their son, Adriaan, a spoilt boy, plagued by ugliness. With overtones of Beauty and the Beast, their romance matures as they grow up together and learn what should truly be valued in life.

Классика английской литературы ХХ века. Изысканная, элегантная и бесконечно ироничная пародия на «провинциальный» британский роман, читая которую можно провести немало забавных параллелей с произведениями Эмили Бронте, Томаса Харди и прочих великих прозаиков XIX – начала ХХ вв. Религиозные снобы и раздираемые тайными страстями юные (и не очень) девицы… Деревенские ловеласы и эксцентричные кумушки… Потрясающая коллекция колоритных и нелепых персонажей, немыслимых ситуаций и невероятных диалогов, которая не оставит равнодушным ни одного истинного ценителя английского юмора!..
