«A Far Cry from Kensington» is the novel by Muriel Spark, published by Penguin in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Set in 1950s London, it tells the story of Mrs Hawkins, a young widow working at a publishing house on the brink of bankruptcy. Now thin and successful, she recalls murky literary affairs, a mortal enemy, anonymous letters, blackmail and suicides, with Muriel Spark's black humour.
The action takes place in 1954, in postwar London.
For readers of English fiction, black humour and satire; also works well in reading groups.
Dame Muriel Sarah Spark was a Scottish novelist, short story writer, poet and essayist.
