Description

A book with many autobiographical references that was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 1981. "[A] note of rejoicing, frequently sounded in 'Loitering with Intent,' may presage a new verve and expansiveness in Mrs. Spark's fiction. The corrosive sense of evil which ate some of her previous novels to such spindly and enigmatic shape has been diluted; although this present novel still does not invite us very deep into the emotional states its complications of plot out line in air, the possibility of such an invitation lies within its benevolent and reminiscent mood." John Updike, New Yorker - from Amzon
