The Long View
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A quietly devastating work of modern British fiction, The Long View chronicles the unraveling of a marriage told in reverse chronological order — beginning in 1950 and moving backwards to the couple's first meeting in the 1920s. Elizabeth Jane Howard presents the story of Antonia and Conrad Fleming with piercing psychological insight, unmasking the slow erosion of love, compromise, and identity that defines long-term relationships. The novel's reverse structure is not merely a stylistic device but a profound argument about the nature of memory and regret — each chapter recontextualises what came before, forcing the reader to reassess every assumption. Written with elegant, restrained prose, this is a masterwork of post-war British literary fiction that rewards patient, attentive reading.
