Description

Reminiscent of Evelyn Waugh, this gentle novel considers how a relationship can work when those concerned have less in common than they once thought. How well can you ever know another person Happy with each other, Reginald and Sylvia think they just want the quiet life. They have more than enough money and their own country house. But when success overtakes them, and the draw of the city, they find parts of themselves they never knew. Where does their happiness really lie A gentle, brilliantly thoughtful story for the ages. AUTHOR: A.A. Milne (Alan Alexander) is best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh, but was also an accomplished writer of fiction for grown-ups. Prior to the First World War he worked as a young man as Assistant Editor of Punch magazine. After leaving the army, he began to write plays, short stories and novels; and then later works for children, including the poetry collection When We Were Very Young and the storybook Winnie-the-Pooh in 1926. Milne continued to be a prolific writer until his death in 1956.

Author Bio

Alan Alexander Milne (1882-1956) was born in London. He was a regular contributor to Punch, and later, assistant editor, before the interruption of active service in the First World War. A remarkably versatile writer, Milne went on to become a hugely successful and widely-known playwright, both in the West End and on Broadway, as well as an essayist, poet, novelist and - most famously - children's author, as the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh.
