Маргарет Дрэббл — библиография

Вот уже более трех десятилетий Маргарет Дрэббл, «английская Француаза Саган», как ее окрестили критики, занимает видное место в современной английской литературе, являясь одним из интереснейших авторов, появившихся в начале 60-х годов ХХ века. Продолжая традиции своих великих предшественников — Джейн Остин, Джордж Элиот, Томаса Гарди, Генри Джеймса, Арнольда Беннета и других классиков английской литературы, Маргарет Дрэббл зарекомендовала себя умным и вдумчивым писателем с самобытным стилем, тонким исследователем человеческих душ и взаимоотношений.

First published in 1965, The Millstone tells the story of Rosamund Stacey, who gets pregnant after a one night stand when she loses her virginity. An academic, Rosamund socialises in liberal, literary circles but has been secretly reserved about sex as well as feeling social guilt. When she discovers she is pregnant, she decides to keep the baby despite society's expectation for her to have an abortion as a single mother carrying an illegitimate child. Giving birth to a daughter, she is forced to adapt to life as a single mother – finding herself transformed in the process.

The Pure Gold Baby is the story of Anna, a little girl with a luminescent quality, her mother, Jess, and the community that envelops them. A happy child, Anna is the unchanging core of this journey spanning decades and continents through the lives of those that love her. This profoundly engaging portrait of family, friendship, and the way we care for each other is a powerful reminder, if one were needed, of Margaret Drabble's literary greatness.

In this, her largest and finest novel, "one of the best English novelists writing today" (The New York Times Book Review) gives us a constellation of English lives, each at a crucial point of change. The Ice Age has all the absorbing richness and assured novelistic quality we have come to expect from Margaret Drabble's work.
