About
Details
Pat Barker's writing is so sure, and her characters so vital, that a powerful story emerges, honest, grim but often funny, and always engrossing. In Liza's England, Liza Garrett is the first child in town born in the twentieth century--whose life in many ways mirrors the turmoil of England itself. The tough, severe, but very real and recognizable world of women is put to the most strenuous tests, and Liza, at eighty-four, is proof that loyalty, fortitude and humor survive.
