A Wreath of Roses -- Elizabeth Taylor

Condition : Good. 

        The Reprint Society, 1950, Hardback with removable protective plastic wrap - Fiction - 256 pp.

         Spending the holiday with friends, as she has for many years, Camilla finds that their private absorptions - Frances with her painting and Liz with her baby - seem to exclude her from the gossipy intimacies of previous summers. Anxious that she will remain encased in her solitary life as a school secretary, Camilla steps into an unlikely liaison with Richard Elton, a handsome, assured - and dangerous - liar.

         In a 1949 book review in Kirkus Reviews the review summarised; "Affecting in its drama, expert in its execution, this is for the discerning reader.

         In reviewing the 2011 reissue, Jane Houshman of the Guardian called it a "marvellous, dark novel" and "The writing is so perfectly pitched that one almost resents becoming aware of the novel's elegant structure unfolding itself towards completion."
