Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Victorian London and Paris in the grip of the revolutionary fervorpolitical and artisticof the 1830s and 1840s provide a vibrant background to the 40-year correspondence of the Courtland family beginning in 1828. Chief letter writers are Charles and Frederick, sons of a renowned London architect. Each is struggling for self-definition and social recognition. Charles endures the spiritual solitude of a priest who has lost his faith, while his artistic brother suffers the aesthetic isolation of a visionary architect trying to design the future for a reactionary establishment. Replete with philosophic and artistic observations, the letters present a consummate portrait of the 19th century. A beautifully, insightfully written novel. Highly recommended. Cynthia Johnson Whealler, Cary Memorial Lib., Lexington, Mass.
