CAN SHE FIND HAPPINESS IN HER NEW LIFE?
Cara Dunning first came to the wild and remote Beckwith Farm in the Yorkshire Dales as a young land girl during the Second World War.
When Cara fell in love with Edward Hendry, whose family owned Beckwith, it was not what her family had intended. Edward was fifteen years older than Cara, a pacifist, and a widower with two children, one of whom bitterly resented her new stepmother.
Cara was determined to make the marriage work, in spite of the hard life on the farm, in spite of Edward's reserved personality and the shadow of Nancy, his former wife.
Her greatest friend on the farm was Edward's mother. Edith Hendry, a loyal and wise Dales-woman, was to see the young bride through many tragedies and vicissitudes.
And as Cara's life began to change, so Cara changed too, finding a complete and utter happiness where she had never expected to...
The first work of genius to come out of Russia since the Revolution
—— V.S. PritchettThe English-speaking world is indebted to these two magnificent translators
—— New York Review of BooksOne of the great events in man's literary and moral history
—— Edmund WilsonBelongs to that small group of novels by which all others are ultimately judged
—— Frank Kermode , SpectatorNot since Shakespeare has love been so fully, vividly, scrupulously and directly communicated
—— Isaiah Berlin , Sunday Times"Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have once again provided an outstanding translation of a major Russian novel. They capture Pasternak's 'voice' with great skill. Thanks to their sensitive rendering, those reading Doctor Zhivago in English can now get a far better sense of Pasternak's style, for they have produced an English text that conveys the nuances (along with the occasional idiosyncrasies) of Pasternak's writing. Notably as well, their version includes some phrases and sentences that inexplicably were omitted by the original translators. The text is accompanied by useful (but not overwhelming) notes in the back that provide information about many historical and cultural references that would otherwise be obscure for those coming to the novel for the first time. Without a doubt, their version will become the standard translation of the novel for years to come."
—— Barry Scherr, Mandel Family Professor of Russian, Dartmouth CollegeAs well as a gripping story, Doctor Zhivago is a work of meditation and a quiet challenge. Pasternak meant every word of it. I believe he would be pleased with the powerful fidelity of the translation now before us
—— Angela Livingstone , Times Literary SupplementAtmospheric, heart-rending and multi-layered
—— GraziaOne of the strongest authors in this genre . . . excellent historical detail, heart-wrenching romance, and an engaging mystery
—— The Historical Novel Society
