JEALOUSY, PASSION AND A SECRET THAT WILL DEVASTATE THEM ALL...
Living in the shadow of their domineering father, Rhianon and Sabrina Webster plan two very different futures. Edwin dotes on his youngest daughter, beautiful, flighty Sabrina, but it is homely, steady Rhianon who holds their little family together. Until one fateful day when Pryce Pritchard, the man Rhianon loves, gets into a fight and all their worlds are thrown into turmoil. Pryce is arrested - and Sabrina disappears...
Months later Rhianon chances upon her sister and is shocked to find her pregnant, living in squalid lodgings in the poorest part of Cardiff. When Davyn is born Sabrina will have nothing to do with him, and kind-hearted Rhianon looks after the little boy, patiently awaiting Pryce's release.
But when Pryce is finally set free, he brings with him secrets that will devastate them all.
Rosie Harris has a real sense of the place and its people in this touching and memorable tale
—— Lancashire Evening PostThe English-speaking world is indebted to these two magnificent translators
—— New York Review of BooksOne of the great events in man's literary and moral history
—— Edmund WilsonBelongs to that small group of novels by which all others are ultimately judged
—— Frank Kermode , SpectatorNot since Shakespeare has love been so fully, vividly, scrupulously and directly communicated
—— Isaiah Berlin , Sunday Times"Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have once again provided an outstanding translation of a major Russian novel. They capture Pasternak's 'voice' with great skill. Thanks to their sensitive rendering, those reading Doctor Zhivago in English can now get a far better sense of Pasternak's style, for they have produced an English text that conveys the nuances (along with the occasional idiosyncrasies) of Pasternak's writing. Notably as well, their version includes some phrases and sentences that inexplicably were omitted by the original translators. The text is accompanied by useful (but not overwhelming) notes in the back that provide information about many historical and cultural references that would otherwise be obscure for those coming to the novel for the first time. Without a doubt, their version will become the standard translation of the novel for years to come."
—— Barry Scherr, Mandel Family Professor of Russian, Dartmouth CollegeAs well as a gripping story, Doctor Zhivago is a work of meditation and a quiet challenge. Pasternak meant every word of it. I believe he would be pleased with the powerful fidelity of the translation now before us
