Product Description
Product Description
An early work from Anna Kavan strongly evoking life in England and its colonies from the early years of the century through the period following the First World War. More straightforward than her more famous novels, Let Me Alone is nevertheless fascinating for its hint of the personal stresses that was to inform much of her uncompromising storylines.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Did a woman write this novel?, Feb 24 2001
By A. G. Plumb "Greg Plumb" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Let Me Alone (Paperback)
The writer of this novel is better known as Anna Kavan - the name of a character in one of her earlier novels that she later took for herself. There must be some hidden significance in that! This is probably the strongest modern novel I have read. The start is captivating and brilliantly exposed, the middle is a bit flat and rather remorseless, but the ending is electric. At long last the principle character feels an iota of remorse for her actions against an unlikeable victim of her actions. I wonder how a woman could have written this novel - is it a brilliant psychological expose - almost a thriller - or is it a wonderfully personal account of a life written with startling naivete?
