Humphrey was already a serious child, drawn toward the underwater world of marine biology, but there were as yet few signs of Ailsa’s dazzling transformation into a flamboyant feminist celebrity. The novel traces the evolution of their careers and their passionately entangled relationship, and brings them together again to see what they will make of their past, and in what spirit they will be able to face the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this taut and elegiac novel, Margaret Drabble examines the ways in which place, chance, and time merge to make us what we are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaret Drabble\u003c\/b\u003e’s internationally celebrated novels include \u003ci\u003eThe Radiant Way\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Natural Curiosity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Gates of Ivory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Peppered Moth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Seven Sisters\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Red Queen\u003c\/i\u003e.
