What is At Mrs Lippincote's (Virago Modern Classics) about?
<p>Mrs. Lippincote's house, with its heavy furniture and yellowing photographs, stands for all the certainties that have vanished with the advent of war. And, temporarily, it is home for Julia. Regarded as a most unsatisfactory officer's wife, Julia has joined her husband Roddy at the behest of the RAF, along with her young son and Roddy's cousin Eleanor. The novel depicts all the hypocrisies and evasions inherent in marriage as the household undergoes the chance encounters and social flux of the war years.</p><h3>Library Journal</h3><p>Taylor launched her career with this 1945 novel, which describes the marital troubles of Julia and her RAF officer husband, Roddy. Julia and her son reside at Mrs. Lippincote's house in order to be near Roddy. Julia and Roddy's already troubled relationship is strained to the max by internal and external influences. A good soap opera. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.</p>
