«Les Saint-Charles» is the novel by Molly Keane, published by Editions 10/18 in paperback (298 pages, in French).
The work portrays a ruined Anglo-Irish family, the Saint-Charles, over more than half a century: clinging to appearances, they refuse to accept the reality of money and sexuality. The narrator, a daughter of the house and little loved by her mother, feels absolute devotion to her father; she never marries and ends up a resentful spinster.
The novel, translated from English with the original title «Good Behaviour», was nominated for the Booker Prize in 1981.
Recommended for readers interested in twentieth-century Irish fiction and stories of family tensions and social critique.
Molly Keane, née Mary Nesta Skrine, and who also wrote as M. J. Farrell, was an Irish novelist and playwright.
