Narration During Books Eustace and Hilda (Eustace and Hilda #3)
The three books gathered together as Eustace and Hilda explore a brother and sister's lifelong relationship. Hilda, the older child, is both self-sacrificing and domineering, as puritanical as she is gorgeous; Eustace is a gentle, dreamy, pleasure-loving boy: the two siblings could hardly be more different, but they are also deeply devoted. And yet as Eustace and Hilda grow up and seek to go their separate ways in a world of power and position, money and love, their relationship is marked by increasing pain.L. P. Hartley's much-loved novel, the magnum opus of one of twentieth-century England's best writers, is a complex and spellbinding work: a comedy of upper-class manners; a study in the subtlest nuances of feeling; a poignant reckoning with the ironies of character and fate. Above all, it is about two people who cannot live together or apart, about the ties that bind—and break.

It has been a while since I completed reading this trilogy. I read the first book separately and having much enjoyed it, starting hunting for the sequels. It was almost three years later that I found to my delight, the trilogy edition.Though I recall snatches only of the plot, what has endured in great detail is the flawed characters of Eustace and Hilda. That is perhaps the intent of Mr.Hartley as well. Through various plots, sone of them unnecessarily long, what we eventually discover is
(I saw bits of myself in Eustace till the very end. A little in love with Antony. Made me miss the sea.) Beautiful, beautiful.
A severe disappointment after the brilliance of Hartley's THE GO-BETWEEN. I can't claim to have finished it, having decided that I'd had enough of neurotic little Eustace, surely the most clueless little boy in all of world literature.
This is a review for the final part of the trilogy also titled Eustace and Hilda. I've reviewed the first two parts elsewhere.This final part brings everything back to the beginning, indeed after the majority of the book takes place in Venice with seemingly nothing happening the last section of the book takes us almost in reverse order back to the beginning of the first installment.Like the first two parts this book takes place almost entirely in Eustace's mind. From the most dramatic of
This book was well written. Thought provoking. A bit depressing. For those looking for squeaky clean reads, this one was pretty clean.
Not rivetting, that's for sure, but ok for bedtime if one is already a bit sleepy. Definitely a 'small doses' book. It rather fascinates, though. It may not be Proustian, but it seems to have the flavour - and Remembrance of Times Gone By (or whatever it is in English) was a book I thoroughly enjoyed in small doses over a couple of months. If you read Proust in small bits at a time, I don't think he ever becomes boring.well, the book of Eustace in University is one big yaaaaawwwwwwwwwn. None of
