Their daughter Prudence is aware, however, and is appalled by the treachery she observes. Mrs Bracey, an invalid whose grasp on life is slipping, forever peers from her window, constantly prodding her daughters for news of the outside world. And Lily Wilson, a lonely young widow, is frightened of her own home. Into their lives steps Bertram, a retired naval officer with the unfortunate capacity to inflict lasting damage while trying to do good.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBooks included in the VMC 40th anniversary series include: \u003ci\u003eFrost in May\u003c\/i\u003e by Antonia White; \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Stories of Grace Paley\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eFire from Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e by Mary Renault; \u003ci\u003eThe Magic Toyshop\u003c\/i\u003e by Angela Carter; \u003ci\u003eThe Weather in the Streets \u003c\/i\u003eby Rosamond Lehmann; \u003ci\u003eDeep Water\u003c\/i\u003e by Patricia Highsmith; \u003ci\u003eThe Return of the Soldier\u003c\/i\u003e by Rebecca West; \u003ci\u003eTheir Eyes Were Watching God\u003c\/i\u003e by Zora Neale Hurston; \u003ci\u003eHeartburn\u003c\/i\u003e by Nora Ephron; \u003ci\u003eThe Dud Avocado\u003c\/i\u003e by Elaine Dundy; \u003ci\u003eMemento Mori \u003c\/i\u003eby Muriel Spark; \u003ci\u003eA View of the Harbour\u003c\/i\u003e by Elizabeth Taylor; and \u003ci\u003eFaces in the Water\u003c\/i\u003e by Janet Frame\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46491593244830,"sku":"ADS-9780349010304","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780349010304.jpg?v=1770594583","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780349010304","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
