Eva Trout: Elizabeth Bowen

Elizabeth Bowen`s last novel, a character study of startling originality which many consider to be her best work

With an introduction by Tessa Hadley

Imposing, rich, unloved and with a genius for unreality; Eva Trout has a `capacity for making trouble, attracting trouble, strewing trouble around her` that is endless. Eva Trout was Elizabeth Bowen`s last completed novel, and in it her elegant style, her gift for social comedy and her intense sensibility combine to create one of her most formidable - and moving - heroines.
