Description
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY TESSA HADLEYImposing, rich, unloved and with a genius for unreality; Eva Trout has a ‘capacity for making trouble, attracting trouble, strewing trouble around her’ that is endless. Eva Trout was Elizabeth Bowen’s last completed novel, and in it her elegant style, her gift for social comedy and her intense sensibility combine to create one of her most formidable – and moving – heroines.

About The Author | Elizabeth Bowen was born in Dublin in 1899, the only child of an Irish lawyer and land-owner. She travelled a great deal, dividing most of her time between London and Bowen's Court, the family house in County Cork which she inherited. Her first book, a collection of shorts stories, Encounters, was published in 1923. The Hotel (1926) was her first novel. She was awarded the CBE in 1948, and received honorary degrees from Trinity College, Dublin in 1949, and from Oxford University in 1956. The Royal Society of Literature made her a Companion of Literature in 1965. Elizabeth Bowen died in 1973. |
Resonant, beautiful and often very funny… Eva is triumphantly real, a creation of great imaginative tenderness |

Other text | Elizabeth Bowen was one of the handful of great English novelist of this century and must be ranked beside Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Evelyn Waugh, Henry Green, and Ford Madox Ford |
