Elizabeth Jenkins

0/5 ( ratings)

By the well-known, well-liked biographer of Elizabeth the Great and Elizabeth and Leicester, this feminine, traditional novel tells with wit and insight of the effects of three kinds of parental love. Widowed Una Lambert has raised her son, Richard, with wisdom, love and a sense of responsibility. Her neighbors, the Sugdens, have given their spoiled son, Derek, everything -- even an Italian racing car- except values. Driving too fast, Derek kills Richard. This stunning tragedy forces the survivors into a different knowledge of love and personal relationships. The opposites are sometimes too symmetrical, but the perception and skill of the writing, the vitality of the characters and the firm moral reality give this a particular strength and appeal for women.
