If I didn't feel down about love before.... The point about two people is that they should change at approximately the same speed in approximately the same direction.

Antonia resiste , resiste fedele alla scelta compiuta, inamovibile nonostante sia intrisa bicchieri di whsky . resiste in un matrimonio che è coperto da cappe di silenzio come coperte a tensioni continue.Then we return still further, to the 1930s. People still dress for dinner and don't understand one another. Alcohol still lubricates society. A woman stares into her empty glass as she decides that she could never be an artist, the glass symbolising an empty dream. She is told 'anyway, you'll marry and have children' although there were some actual careers open to women at this time. The last part of the story occurs in 1926. There were only two kinds of people, those who live different lives with the same partner, and those who live the same life with different partners … ”

What a mistake it is to listen to one’s thoughts. But it is a mistake of such infinite variety that making it constitutes a chief pleasure in life.

Since the setting is early to mid 1900's in London, I suppose that makes sense, but the endless lists left me searching for meaning in the run-on sentences. Constant references to cities, people, events, etc. that, had I took the time to look up, would have further impeded my ability to maintain the story flow. It is like reading a bulleted list in every other paragraph. There should have been subscripts to define the endless references. With all of the fluff, the actual purpose or thought to convey was buried in minutia. She passionately wanted to be regarded ‘for herself’ as women say, which means for some elusive attraction which they do not feel they possess.Cooper, Jonathan (23 April 1990).

She was a nice, ignorant, unimaginative girl, designed perfectly to reproduce herself; and regarding her, Mr Fleming, found it difficult to believe in The Origin of the Species The Chronicles were a family saga "about the ways in which English life changed during the war years, particularly for women." They follow three generations of a middle-class English family and draw strongly from Howard's own life and memories. [7] The first four volumes, The Light Years, Marking Time, Confusion, and Casting Off, were published from 1990 to 1995.

They [mother and daughter] seemed two women bound together, having in common nothing in particular, and everything in general; who, were they not related, would not willingly have spent five minutes in each other’s company; but who, because of their relationship, had spent nineteen years, irritating, modifying, interfering with, decryring, and depending upon each other. Her second marriage, to Australian broadcaster Jim Douglas-Henry in 1958, was brief. [3] Her third marriage, to novelist Kingsley Amis, whom she met while organising the Cheltenham Literary Festival, [7] lasted from 1965 to 1983.

[12] Living, he always maintained, consisted of no fundamentals, outlines, basic truths, or principles, even for one person, let alone society, but simply a vast quantity of detail, endlessly variable and utterly unrelated. It's a heartbreaking read but oh the skill of Howard showing every emotional nuance so that you experience all of it directly yourself.You should be more discriminating in the flattery you require. Or if that is beyond you, more selective as to time".
