Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont
by Elizabeth Taylor
Mrs Palfrey prides herself on having always known “the right thing to do,” but in this new situation she discovers that resource is much reduced. Before she knows it, in fact, she tries something else.
Elizabeth Taylor's final and most popular novel is as unsparing as it is, ultimately, heartbreaking.
Praise
Much of the reader's joy lies in the exquisite subtlety in Taylor's depiction of all the relationships, the sharp brevity of her wit, and the apparently effortless way the plot unfolds.
