Paperback edition of Byatt's first full length novel since her Booker Prize-winning "Possession. Babel Tower" features Frederica, the heroine of "Virgin in the Garden" and "Still Life" - it is the 1960s and she now teaches in an art college. She is also trying to hide herself and her son from a violent husband. A striking evocation of the sixties; the politics, passion, language and contradictions.
