Charley Is My Darling : An evacuee coming of age tale by Joyce Cary (Lume Books) (20 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

A charming, accessible tale of childhood and youth, that offers plentiful insight and raises many questions. Charley is a London lad and an evacuee. Initially an outcast, his wit and humour win him friends, although not always of the best type. Among Charley Brown's first deeds as an evacuee to Longwater in the West Country is to let loose the local bull. Boys who one minute had taunted him with the refrain 'Ballocky baldy' (Charley's lice having been evacuated from London with him), were the next minute acknowledging him as their natural leader. Charley Brown, one of Joyce Cary's most uproarious and memorable creations, is a love and a terror. He is a quivering jelly in the hands of girls and women of any age who show him kindness; through the wild force of his imagination he holds children rapt with tales of desperate gunmen with exquisite manners and a taste for the beautiful. He leads his gang into daring acts both grand and bad. As Charley's sweetheart Lizzy Galor rightly puts it, he's every bit as good as the movies... But those movies don't always have a happy ending. Charley is My Darling will please those who already enjoy the work of Cary. Readers with an interest in social history, education and child development will also enjoy it. Praise for Charley is my Darling and Joyce Cary: 'To find a novelist who saw more deeply and conveyed more truly you have to go back to Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, Balzac and Goethe, Mann and Hesse' - Bernard Levin 'One of the best of our novelists, certainly one of the most original, in the great early tradition of Defoe and Fielding' - Elizabeth Bowen 'Whenever I am idle I choose a Cary novel in the way I might seek a friend's company, and it is not long before I am encouraged, inspired to write' - Paul Theroux Joyce Cary was born in 1888 into an old Anglo-Irish family and educated at Clifton. He studied art, first in Edinburgh and then in Paris, before going up to Trinity College, Oxford in 1909 to read law. On coming down he ...

Lady Sophronia Sorrow considers herself an unlikely heroine. Why, just her name alone proves this. Sophronia Sorrow sounds like a girl from a gothic penny novel -- the foolish miss who falls prey to a rake and becomes an object lesson for the true heroine to avoid. No, despite her mawkish name, Sophie refuses to spend her life invisible and unwanted, relegated to the margin of the text. Despite her eccentric, bluestocking ways, there must be a place where she is wanted. If only she could uncover the identity of her natural father, perhaps she would belong there? But one thing Sophie knows for sure -- unlike that foolhardy miss in a novel, she will not succumb to a rake. No matter how thoroughly the rakish Lord Rafe Gilbert may tempt her. Lord Rafe Gilbert longs for freedom -- freedom from his controlling father, freedom to live his life as he chooses. He knows playing the rake keeps his autocratic father in check, but Rafe longs to determine his own destiny. Case in point, he fell in love with Lady Sophie years ago, but his father's threats and his mother's health prevent him from pursuing Lady Sophie in earnest. So when Fate thrusts Sophie into his path, Rafe knows he must turn her away and distance himself. But doing the right thing has never been so impossibly difficult. Sophie and Rafe soon find themselves on a journey together from London to a castle in the Scottish Highlands. Along the way, can two kindred souls heal from past hurts and seize a second chance to write a love story of their own?
