AUTHOR

Bowen, Elizabeth

SUMMARY

"In 1914, three eleven-year-old girls buried a box in a thicket on the coast of England, shortly before World War I sent their lives on divergent paths. Nearly fifty years later, a series of mysteriously-worded classified ads brings the women reluctantly together again. Dinah has grown from a chubby, bossy girl to a beautiful, eccentric widow. The clever, reticent Clare has blossomed into an imperious entrepreneur of independent means. And Sheila - who was once the pretty princess of her small universe - has weathered disappointed aspirations to become a chic and glossily correct housewife." "As these radically different women confront one another and their shared secrets, the hard-won complacencies of their present selves are irrevocably shattered. Elizabeth Bowen explores the buried revelations - and the dangers - that attend the summoning up of childhood and the long-concealed scars of the past."--BOOK JACKET.Bowen, Elizabeth is the author of 'Little Girls' with ISBN 9780140057850 and ISBN 0140057854.
