Who had said that? Probably mother. Or the governess before she left to get married. How disagreeable, and it was all the fault of the sub-conscious. . . . Why didn't the sub-conscious ever turn up things like: 'Anne, how beautiful you are looking today.' Or even: 'That's a good girl finishing up all your dinner.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnne Palliser is insecure, morbid, and a bit off-balance--in other words, a perfect Elizabeth Eliot narrator. She escapes an overbearing mother and moves to London, working as secretary to the eccentric Lady Merton and dating a detective novelist. But her self-absorbed and irresponsible brother Henry remains a central focus. In the years after running away from school to join the circus, Henry marries, divorces, keeps a mistress, gambles, and flirts with Lady Merton. Now he plans to marry a doctor and turn the family home into a maternity hospital. What could go wrong?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnne observes it all in unique style--daft, brilliant, and dark by turn, but always hilarious. Henry is Elizabeth Eliot's acclaimed second novel. Her debut, \u003cem\u003eAlice\u003c\/em\u003e, and two subsequent novels, \u003cem\u003eMrs. Martell\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCecil\u003c\/em\u003e, have also been reprinted by Furrowed Middlebrow and Dean Street Press. They feature a new introduction by Elizabeth Crawford.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This novel has a tart and unique flavour of its own, and the author displays her most amusing and delightful stylistic trick, which is to have the last word\" \u003cem\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Delightful light-heartedness, malicious wit and humanity lurking beneath the surface\" \u003cem\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 07, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47267999383801,"sku":"9781912574612","price":17.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/RQmNKn0Ytq9781912574612.webp?v=1768873540","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/henry-paperback-9","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
