Elizabeth Bowen and the Dissolution of the Novel argues that the Anglo- Irish writer Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) is one of the most important, though undervalued, practitioner of the twentieth-century novel in English. This is an innovative study with significant implications for contemporary critical and theoretical writing. The authors contend that Bowen's work calls for a radically new conception of criticism and theory - and of the novel itself.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Dangerous and dark connections of the heart reveal themselves in this narrative of loss and redemption - a heart transplant in Victorian Knightsbridge is linked to near-death experience a century later; a man must face his father's imminent death; and a cardiologist falls for her patient's friend.

During demolition work on the site of a former cinema, north of Soho, the body of a man is discovered wrapped in the celluloid used to kill him. The discovery throws together four former friends, haunted by the film project they once worked on, and draws them into a mystery of murder and deceit.
