"The Strangers Child" is a novel that has been longlisted for the prestigious Man Booker Prize. It is a magnificent and century-spanning saga that revolves around a love triangle that gives rise to a myth and a family mystery that spans generations.
In the late summer of 1913, George Sawle, a Cambridge friend, brings Cecil Valance, a charismatic young poet, to visit his family home. The weekend promises to be filled with excitement and confusion for everyone, but it has the most lasting impact on George's sixteen-year-old sister, Daphne.
As the decades unfold, Daphne and those around her experience remarkable changes in fortune and circumstances. The events of that long-ago summer become intertwined with legends and stories.
"The Strangers Child" is a masterful exploration of English culture, taste, and attitudes. It is an epic in scope, portraying a luminous but changing world and the ways in which memory and myth can be constructed and dismantled. It is a powerful and utterly absorbing modern classic.
