Book Review of Loving / Living / Party Going

Loving / Living / Party Going
reviewed on + 30 more book reviews


I have read Loving and Party Going but not Living. As John Updike says in his introduction to the former book, Green is incomparable in bringing a feeling of real life to his novels. Loving is set during World War I in an Irish country house where the owner is away at the front and his wife is left behind with the servants. Party Going concerns a few people in a fog bound London on a particular night when travel is brought to a standstill due to the weather. Highly recommended to the sensitive reader of literature.
