Roses around the headstones
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Two quick but more or less final conclusions on finishing this quietly devastating English novel from 1946: You are never once allowed to forget that you are reading words intricately and even eccentrically arranged by the inimitable Henry Green.
