Zharkii sezon: roman. (per.) (Klassika zhanra) - Laivli P

Brilliant novel about the life of the English intelligentsia. A deceptively simple story that begins with an absolute idyll, develops into drama and ends in tragedy.
During the hot summer season, Pauline invited her daughter Teresa and her husband Maurice and their young son Luke to live in the city. Maurice is engaged in creative work: he writes a new guide to this part of the country. At first glance, it seems that Theresa has an idyllic marriage. But Pauline notices the growing distance between her daughter and son-in-son. Maurice is often visited by editor James along with his girlfriend Carol. And one day Pauline begins to fear that Maurice is not in earnest carried away by Carol . . .
A brilliant new novel from Booker Prize winner Penelope Lively, amazing in strength and sincerity of storytelling.
