The book delves into the history of Camp Forrest, a significant military facility in Tennessee during World War II. Initially a training site for over 70,000 soldiers, it evolved into one of the first civilian internment camps for enemy aliens in the U.S. and later became a POW camp for German and Italian soldiers. Following the war, the camp was decommissioned in 1946 and transformed into the Arnold Engineering Development Complex in 1951. The narrative captures the impact of global conflict on American society, illustrated through historical images of the site.

A subtle love story by one of the most accomplished writers of the 20th century

In this novel, first published in 1964, Elizabeth Taylor skilfully and subtly demonstrates the terrible danger of self-love, most deadly to those who live within its shadow.

Harriet and Vesey meet when they are teenagers, and their love is as intense and instantaneous as it is innocent. But they are young. All life still lies ahead. Vesey heads off hopefully to pursue a career as an actor. Harriet marries and has a child, becoming a settled member of suburban society. And then Vesey returns, the worse for wear, and with him the love whose memory they have both sentimentally cherished, and even after so much has happened it cannot be denied. But things are not at all as they used to be. Love, it seems, is hardly designed to survive life.       One of the finest twentieth-century English novelists, Elizabeth Taylor, like her contemporaries Graham Greene, Richard Yates, and Michelangelo Antonioni, was a connoisseur of the modern world’s forsaken zones. Her characters are real, people caught out by their own desires and decisions, and they demand our attention. The be-stilled suburban backwaters she sets out to explore shimmer in her books with the punishing clarity of a desert mirage.

A humorous and compassionate look at friendship between an old woman and a young man.

Mrs Lippincote's house, with its mahogany furniture and yellowing photographs, stands as a reminder of all the certainties that have vanished with the advent of war. Temporarily, this is home for Julia, who has joined her husband Roddy at the behest of the RAF. Although she can accept the pomposities of service life, Julia's honesty and sense of humor prevent her from taking her role as seriously as her husband, that leader of men, might wish; for Roddy, merely love cannot suffice - he needs homage as well as admiration. And Julia, while she may be a most unsatisfactory officer's wife, is certainly no hypocrite.An Alternate Cover for this edition can be found here.

Le regard d'Elizabeth Taylor sur la vie, les autres, elle-même, les défauts et les mesquineries ordinaires, est dans ce dernier roman encore plus impitoyable, mais aussi plein de compassion. Tendresse, lucidité, ces mots conviennent au personnage d'Amy - tendresse pour ses deux petites-filles merveilleusement précoces, lucidité cruelle dans ses rapports de veuve avec son entourage, avec Martha surtout, la jeune romancière américaine rencontrée lors d'une croisière en Turquie, qui l'a aidée quand son mari est mort. Les fils des existences de tous les personnages semblent inextricablement entremêlés, et pourtant personne ne voit arriver la tragédie. Intrigue bien menée, caractères subtils, style concis, un magnifique Taylor.
