Praise
“Rebecca West’s The Fountain Overflows…is likely the novel I’ve reread more often than any other… many writers can write misunderstanding well, but Rebecca West is supreme at writing about understanding.” —Yiyun Li, The Paris Review Daily
“Rebecca West was one of the giants and will have a lasting place in English literature. No one in this century wrote more dazzling prose, or had more wit, or looked at the intricacies of human character and the ways of the world more intelligently.” —William Shawn
“A real Dickensian Christmas pudding of a book-full of incident, full of family delights, full of parties and partings, strange bits of London, the lobby of the House of Commons, a classic murder with portraits of the murderer, the murderee and a couple of innocent bystanders, bill collectors, kitchen fires, good food, and a considerable quota of ghosts. West’s is a world that is a delight to enter and to live in, warm and vital, and constantly entertaining.” —Elizabeth Janeway, The New York Times Book Review
