Ce commentaire est de: The Heart of the Family (Paperback)

I disagree with William Tegner, who has not apparently read the preceding 2 books and was therefore clearly at sea most of the time. This is a very good book, the third of the Eliot trilogy. It is not merely "more of the same" about the Eliots, but in fact is considerably denser, i.e., harder to get through, and even, dare I say it, more despairing than any other book by Goudge that I have read (and unlike Tegner, I have read many). The themes it raises are those of war, "the pity of war, the pity war distills", atomic devastation, and at the more local level, those of familial (and familiar) disappointments. Specifically, Ben, the eldest of Naomi and George's children has turned away from the career they selected for him, and has also announced that he will marry, as his parents see it, "beneath him". This is not a happy book, and it is tough going after the almost lyric poetry of the earlier two, but it is well worth the effort. It is Goudge at her most adult, her least fanciful. It is like suddenly reading prose where before it was all poetry.
