Portrait of the Mother as a Young Woman

Friedrich Christian Delius

"it's one of the best ways you could conceive of getting inside the mind of a character. The traditional narrative form of the novel wasn't disdained by the more serious modernists just for the hell of it, after all. The achievement isn't one of form: it's one of human understanding." Nick Lezard, The Guardian
