Booker-Prize winning author Penelope Lively is that rare writer who
goes from strength to strength in book after perfectly assured
book. In Passing On, she applies her distinctive insight and
consummate artistry to the subtle story of a domineering and
manipulative mother's legacy to her children. With their mother's
death, Helen and Edward, both middle-aged and both unmarried, are
left to face the ramifications of their mother's hold on their
lives for all of these years. Helen and Edward slowly learn to
accept what has been lost in their own lives and embrace what can
yet be retrieved. The richest and most rewarding of her novels. -
