Eustace and Hilda - L.P. Hartley & Anita Brookner

Eustace and Hilda

By L.P. Hartley & Anita Brookner

  • Release Date: 2001-08-01
  • Genre: Family Fiction & Literature

This three novel collection first published in 1944 explores a brother and sister’s coming of age and changing relationship in the English countryside and Venice

The three books gathered together as Eustace and Hilda explore a brother and sister’s lifelong relationship. Hilda, the older child, is both self-sacrificing and domineering, as puritanical as she is gorgeous; Eustace is a gentle, dreamy, pleasure-loving boy: the two siblings could hardly be more different, but they are also deeply devoted. And yet as Eustace and Hilda grow up and seek to go their separate ways in a world of power and position, money and love, their relationship is marked by increasing pain.

L. P. Hartley’s much-loved novel, the magnum opus of one of twentieth-century England’s best writers, is a complex and spellbinding work: a comedy of upper-class manners; a study in the subtlest nuances of feeling; a poignant reckoning with the ironies of character and fate. Above all, it is about two people who cannot live together or apart, about the ties that bind—and break.
