Providence

Kitty Maule longs to be "totally unreasonable, totally unfair, very demanding, and very beautiful." She is instead clever, reticent, self-possessed, and striking. For years. Kitty has been tactfully courting her colleague Maurice Bishop, a detached, elegant English professor. Now, running out of patience, Kitty's amorous pursuit takes her from rancorous academic committee rooms and lecture halls to French cathedrals and Parisian rooming houses, from sittings with her dress-making grandmother to seances with a grandmotherly psychic. Touching, funny, and stylistically breathtaking, Providence is a brightly polished gem of romantic comedy.

  • "Weergave van het innerlijke conflict van een vrouw, die streeft naar verstand en rede, terwijl haar gedrag juist wordt bepaald door een sterke verdrongen emotionaliteit."
  • "This brightly polished yet immensely touching comedy presents the romantic quest of Kitty Maule, who, in revenge against the impossibly charming and elusive man who rejects her, resolves to become "totally unreasonable, totally unfair, very demanding, and very beautiful," to any number of others."
  • "En filigrane de ce beau roman intelligent, la contradiction des mentalités anglaise et française vécue par une jeune veuve inconsolée mais non inconsolable. Le cadre universitaire de province est bien rendu et le roman ##Adolphe## de Benjamin Constant semble revécu par l'héroïne."
  • "Weergave van het innerlijke conflict van een vrouw, die streeft naar verstand en rede, terwijl haar gedrag juist wordt bepaald door een sterk verdrongen emotionaliteit."
  • "The author's fourth novel is a portrait of an intelligent woman grappling with the questions of nationality, religion, identity, her place in the world and what to cook for dinner. Salvation is found in words, in the Romantic tradition and in literature."@en
