Down in the City

Elizabeth Harrower

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Stan had seldom seen Esther cry, and her tears had never gratified him more. They put her in the wrong, made his defection very understandable. At the same time, he complained, 'So this is the high-and-mighty thing I married!'

Esther Prescott has seen little of the world outside her family's Rose Bay mansion - until flashy Stan Peterson barges up the drive and into her life. Within a fortnight they are sharing his Kings Cross flat. Esther tries desperately to please him, but Stan - moody, manipulative, cruel - is bitterly resentful of her privilege.

First published in 1957, Down in the City announced Elizabeth Harrower as a major Australian writer. With an introduction by Delia Falconer.
