Beschreibung
Late and Soon is one of E. M. Delafield's late, searching studies of English domestic life, a novel in which time-missed chances, belated recognition, and the claims of the next generation-becomes the true plot. Written with her characteristic economy, irony, and unsentimental compassion, it refines the comedy of manners into psychological inquiry. Its drawing rooms, family negotiations, and wartime shadows place it within the tradition of Austen, Gaskell, and the interwar woman's novel, while its tone is distinctly Delafield's: lucid, amused, and quietly devastating. Delafield, born Edmée Elizabeth Monica de la Pasture, was herself shaped by literary inheritance, Catholic schooling, marriage, motherhood, provincial society, and wartime service. Best known for The Diary of a Provincial Lady, she repeatedly transformed apparently modest domestic material into acute social criticism. Late and Soon reflects the authority of a writer who knew how moral choices are concealed inside etiquette, habit, and family duty. Readers drawn to intelligent fiction about emotional restraint, generational change, and the costs of self-knowledge will find this novel rewarding. It is a subtle, humane work, recommended especially to admirers of Barbara Pym, Elizabeth Taylor, and the sharper edges of English social realism.
