'Original, artful and elegant... To read her for the first time is a singular
experience' Hilary Mantel
'Cruel genius' Maggie Nelson
Sabine Ponsonby presides over her large household with despotic force, rivalled
only by her imperious daughter, Hetta. As her needling cruelties cause one
governess after another to flee, the family's younger generation begins to stir
in revolt, and the seeds for a reckoning are sown.
Written in Ivy Compton-Burnett's iconic style, where dialogue seethes with
veiled insults and manipulations, Daughters and Sons is an acidic comedy of cold
deceptions, mistaken identities and family struggles for dominance.
