Beschreibung

Passing On is the eighth novel by Booker Prize winning author Penelope Lively.

Helen is fifty-two and Edward forty-nine when Dorothy their mother dies ending her reign of terror and leaving them ill-equipped to deal with their lives. Timid cautious and naive Helen makes the charming Giles Carnaby familiy solicitor the object of a belated schoolgirl crush while Edward free to express his sexuality at last finds it gets the better of him. Dorothy may be dead and buried but her iron grip continues to hold them in its power.

'Passing On is about the essential difficulty of being English of coping with peculiarly English varieties of guilt nostalgia frustration and desire' Observer

'Lively is at her sharpest alert to every conceivable irony' Jonathan Coe Guardian
