Staring At the Sun
by Barnes, Julian
Teasing fullness, wit, incisiveness, gentleness and generosity' Times Literary SupplementStaring at the Sun charts the life of Jean Serjeant, from her beginning as a naive, carefree country girl before the war through to her wry and trenchant old age in the year 2020. We follow her bruising experience in marriage, her probing of male truths, her adventures in motherhood and in China and we learn cannot fail to be moved by the questions she asks of life and the often unsatisfactory answers it provides.
