Introduction by Michelle de Kretser Cotters' England follows the
lives of Nellie Cook, sister Peggy Cotter and brother Tom. Set in
post-war England, it is a study of politics and betrayal in
Nellie's professional and personal life. It is a story of smothered
aspirations and dashed hopes, as class politics trap the Cotters
and stifle their attempts to break free from the boundaries of the
working- and middle-classes. The book is also an exploration of
love and sexuality. An undercurrent of incestuous flirtation and a
lesbian affair add further strain to Nellie's relationships with
family and friends, driving one of them to suicide. By the renowned
author of The Man Who Loved Children, this is the first Stead work
to be set wholly in England. It weaves a strange and compelling
story that explores the limits of class, politics, lust and
passion.
