The Woman at the Window Summary

The Woman at the Window by Emyr Humphreys

Emyr Humphreys is a major figure in twentieth-century writing and The Woman at the Window is an immensely enjoyable and impressive addition to his outstanding list of award-winning novels and short stories. From the widow alone in the rectory drawing room to views across the sunny expanses of post-war Europe, celebrated writer Emyr Humphreys offers this urbane, mature collection. His protagonists look back over the patterns of their lives and forward too, for the chance to untangle family relationships, rekindle lost loves, or find a home for themselves in familiar yet fresh surroundings.

The Woman at the Window Reviews

'A Welsh writer of European stature, Emyr Humphreys is at the height of his powers. Like Sandor Marai, he is a lord of irony, whose wry, sage wit and eagle eyesight capture a panorama of the twentieth century, with its fratricidal wars and struggling ideals, in a richly epigrammatic English. And on the human level, this volume speaks, through its cast of fascinating characters, intimately to the reader's heart.' Stevie Davies. His style is clean, uncluttered, witty.A New Welsh Review [T]he author continues to be a keen student of human behaviour and motivation, remaining as intrigued by the choices that individuals make as he is by the historical forces that influence them. [ - ] Emyr Humphreys continues to provide an antidote to a picture-postcard Wales whose inhabitants are, as one character puts it, 'obsessed with rugby and being famous and getting their names in lights in the West End.'A The Planet
