| | 1. |  | The Last September
from Anchor
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
One of Elizabeth Bowen's finest novels, THE LAST SEPTEMBER has grown in popularity in recent years thanks to the overtly political nature of its topic (the demise of the Anglo-Irish "county" life by means of the Irish War of Independence) and the recent 1999 film adaptation with Michael Gambon,... more info

| | 2. |  | The Death of the Heart
from Anchor
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
This is not an easy read and nor did Bowen intend for it to be so. God forbid any of these commentors who hated it should make the mistake of ordering a Henry James novel. Bowen has such remarkable powers of penetration; her ability to shape compelling images with words is nothing short of... more info

| | 3. |  | The Heat of the Day
from Anchor
Price: $11.21
Customer Review:
"The Heat of the Day" is set in the autumn of 1942, and deals with the triangular relationship between its three main characters, Stella Rodney, Robert Kelway and Harrison. (For most of the book he is referred to only by his surname, although towards the end we learn that his Christian name is also... more info

| | 5. |  | Eva Trout, or Changing Scenes
from Anchor
Price: $11.05
Customer Review:
This is the first of Bowen's novels I have read and I was quite interested in the two polarised reviews below me, one reckoned it her best, and one reckoned it her worst book. Strange how writing can be so different to so many people.
I really enjoyed it - it was darkly humourous. We are... more info

| | 6. |  | To the North
from Anchor
Price: $11.90
Customer Review:
TO THE NORTH was one of the most praised of Elizabeth Bowen's novels during her lifetime, but it is less well known today than her other mature works THE DEATH OF THE HEART or THE HOUSE IN PARIS, in part because it is perhaps a more difficult read than either of those two of her masterworks. As with... more info

| | 7. |  | The Collected Stories of Elizabeth Bowen
from Anchor
Price: $13.46
Customer Review:
elizabeth bowen's stories are well crafted. reading them (for me... i was born in 1974) is like peeking into the drawing room of a time long gone and now crystallised on the page. i gave the book 4 stars instead of five, because while some of the stories are real gems, others fell flat to me. this... more info

| | 8. |  | The Little Girls
from Anchor
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
Elizabeth Bowen became one of my favorite authors ever within the first chapter of the first book of hers that I read, (The House in Paris). Her text is acute and moving, it makes everyone alive and has a tangible respect of the subjectivity of people's existence.
The Little Girls, the fourth... more info

from Anchor
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
What a terrific book. Not quite as good as the better-known 'The Death of the Heart', but well worth reading.There are two aspects to Bowen's work which attract me. First, her language. On almost every page there is something to leave one breathless. Here's a sample: Their tide had turned and... more info

| | 10. |  | Elizabeth Bowen
from Anchor
Price: $15.95
Customer Review:
Anchor recently has been reissuing almost all of Elizabeth Bowen's novels in gorgeous new editions, and they decided to complement these with this reissue of this excellent 1977 standard life of one of the greatest twentieth-century novelists by Victoria Glendinning, herself one of the best living... more info
