![]() ![]() Author: White Antonia Publisher: Trafalgar Square A brilliant portrait of a young girl's coming of age, The Lost Traveller tells of Clara, the beloved daughter of a devoted though authoritarian father and an imperious mother. In this devout Catholic family, father and daughter conduct an intense relationship that seems at odds with their faith and with the need for Clara to become a woman. Set against the backdrop of the First World War, Clara experiences the vagaries of adolescence and, faced with the first tragedy of her adult life, she realizes that neither parents nor faith can protect her from change. € 10,50

![]() ![]() Author: White Antonia Publisher: Trafalgar Square Nanda Gray, the daughter of a Catholic convert, is nine when she is sent to the Convent of Five Wounds. Quick-witted, resilient, and eager to please, she adapts to this cloistered world, learning rigid conformity and subjection to authority. Passionate friendships are the only deviation from her total obedience. Convent life?the smell of beeswax and incense, the petty cruelty of the nuns, the glamour and eccentricity of Nanda's friends?is perfectly captured by Antonia White. € 10,80

![]() ![]() Author: Colette, White Antonia (TRN), Thurman Judith (INT) Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux Colette, prodded by her first husband, Willy, began her writing career with Claudine at School, which catapulted the young author into instant, sensational success. Among the most autobiographical of Colette's works, these four novels are dominated by the child-woman Claudine, whose strength, humor, and zest for living make her seem almost a symbol for the life force. Janet Flanner described these books as 'amazing writing on the almost girlish search for the absolute of happiness in physical love . . . recorded by a literary brain always wide awake on the pillow.' € 17,90

![]() ![]() Author: White Antonia Publisher: La Tartaruga Un gran dolore colpì la signora Bell quando morì la sua vecchia e amatissima gatta Vittoria, assai possessiva ed esigente con la sua devota padrona. Per un caso non molto fortuito, si trovò ben presto a non saper resistere al fascino di una siamese dagli enormi occhi blu un po' strabici, dal portamento altero e i gusti aristocratici. Come se non bastasse, ecco presentarsi tra le braccia di un'amica volonterosa, un bel gattino tutto rosso, talmente indipendente e avventuroso da meritarsi l'ardito nome di Cuor di Leone. La vita della signora Bell è messa sottosopra dall'arrivo dei due trovatelli dal carattere tanto diverso. Ma dopo molte ripicche e gelosie, dispetti e tenere fusa, il terzetto ritrova l'armonia di una convivenza serena e felice. € 10,40
Scontato: € 4,68
