The Queen of the Tambourine

by Jane Gardam

The Queen of the Tambourine Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Funny and moving."-The New York Times

In prose vibrant and witty, The Queen of the Tambourinetraces the emotional breakdown-and eventual restoration-of Eliza Peabody, a smart and wildly imaginative woman who has become unbearably isolated in her prosperous London neighborhood. Eliza must reach the depths of her downward spiral before she can once again find health and serenity. This story of a woman's confrontation with the realities of sanity will delight readers who enjoy the works of Anita Brookner, Sybille Bedford, Muriel Spark, and Sylvia Plath. Winner of the Whitbread Prize for Best Novel of the Year.
