The Road to Lichfield is the Booker Prize shortlisted first novel
by Penelope Lively, published as a Penguin Essential for the first
time on the 40th anniversary of its publication. Ann Linton leaves
her family in Berkshire and sets up camp in her father's house when
he is taken into a nursing home in distant Lichfield. As she shares
his last weeks she meets David Fielding, and the love they share
brings her feelings into sharp focus. Deeply felt, beautifully
controlled, The Road to Lichfield is a subtle exploration of memory
and identity, of chance and consequence, of the intricate weave of
generations across a past never fully known, and a future never
fully anticipated. 'A searing study of the peculiar state of being
in love . . . there are few contemporary novelists to match her on
this subject' Sunday Telegraph
