Why in the Cabin
A Far Cry from Kensington,"Spark’s witty, mordant novel follows Florence’s misadventures in postwar London’s literary circles, her sharp observations slicing through pretense with gleeful precision. The book’s brisk pace and satirical humor reveal the absurdities of ambition and societal expectation. Spark’s gleaming prose ensures every line pulses with intelligent mischief."

Author
Muriel Spark
Muriel Spark strips false saints and institutions. Her conversion to Catholicism didn't make her moralistic or sentimental; it put her in critical closeness to the ideological discourses that are used to influence and control us, but also give sense and meaning to our lives. She remains one of the most influential British writers of the 20th century.
