INTRODUCED BY PHILIP HENSHER 'Elizabeth Taylor is finally being
recognised as an important British author: an author of great
subtlety, great compassion and great depth. As a reader, I have
found huge pleasure in returning to Taylor's novels and short
stories many times over. As a writer I've returned to her too - in
awe of her achievements, and trying to work out how she does it'
SARAH WATERS A brilliant novel about the damage caused by
relentless 'niceness'. Uncritical, encouraging, 'the soul of
kindness', Flora's help is the cruelest hindrance to those who love
her most. 'Here I am!' Flora called to Richard as she went
downstairs. For a second, Meg felt disloyalty. It occurred to her
of a sudden that Flora was always saying that, and that it was in
the tone of one giving a lovely present. Elegant, blonde and
beautiful, Flora has everything under control: her perfect home,
her husband Richard, her friend Meg, adoring Kit, and the writer
Patrick. Flora entrances everyone, dangling visions of happiness
and success before their spellbound eyes. All are bewitched by this
golden tyrant. Except, that is, for the clear-eyed painter, Liz,
who can see that Flora's kindness is the sweetest poison of them
all.
