Hans Frost, Author, April 23 2006
By Bomojaz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hans Frost (Paperback)
The basic premise behind this novel is the maxim "To write successfully, a writer must be free." Hans Frost, just turned seventy, is a successful and respected writer of fiction, poetry, history, and essays; but he has yet to create "the masterpiece" he feels capable of producing. The main detriment to this endeavor he (and Walpole) believes is his domineering and shrewish wife Ruth. After an extended visit by his independent-minded niece Nathalie, he is inspired by her to separate from Ruth and to move far off from home base London to Cornwall and a little cottage where he will attempt his masterpiece once more. The best part of the book, because it's the liveliest, is the ending where Frost confronts Ruth with his plan. Walpole, not known for his humor, writes with wry wit here that adds much to the book's freshness and naturalness. The novel's bookish content should be appealing to those who revere the literary life.
