Reviews for The Weight of a World of Feeling. Reviews and Essays by Elizabeth Bowen.
In her eclectic reviews, Bowen offers a comparably generous refusal to simplify. Her loyalty is to the fiction that shows human existence to be a "fascinating (if maddening), iridescent, quivering, mysterious, and, above all, exciting affair". As she might have put it, "certainly read this book"" - Times Literary Supplement, March 17 2017.
