It also means that this is the second novel on ageing I have read this year, the first one being the rather wonderful Memento Mori by Muriel Spark. To make a long story short, I loved this novel. It was a tussle between Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont and A View of the Harbour, both highly regarded, and I finally selected the former. That I had to once again jump on the Taylor bandwagon. But lately there hasīeen a lot of love for her novels on Twitter and the blogging world, and I knew It was excellent and what stood out for me was Taylor’s keen perception of human nature, and a sharp eye for describing the social mores of the period.įathom, I didn’t read any more of her work since then. At the time, NYRB Classics had reissued her novel A Game of Hide and Seek, and since I am a big fan of the imprint, that was the first Taylor novel I read. It didn’t help that she shared the same name with the famous actress. It was only a few years ago that I discovered the writing of Elizabeth Taylor. ![]()
