The Powers on High

Sylvia Bruce

4.9/5 (13137 ratings)

Description:‘You people your world with such uncompromising heroes and villains, put them in such impossible predicaments,’ Brenda Searle is told. Her reply sets the tone of this remarkable first novel: ‘The situations themselves, the predicaments, are the affair of the Powers on high. My problem, or my contribution to the general chaos, is only that I always choose the villain as my hero.’Brenda carries from suburban school to Oxford the independent deterrent of her crystal clear intelligence which at one point virtually unhinges ironically her reason. It attracts men and yet loses them to her, as happens with Hans the German and Krishna the Indian. Brenda's intellectual strength is her weakness. Brenda Searle is an astounding new addition to the contemporary novel scene. Her cool assessment of herself, her toughness of mind and power of vital expression, her wit, and above all her essential fragility will strike many chords in the minds and hearts of the under thirty generation.With her first novel, THE POWERS ON HIGH, Sylvia Bruce becomes a force to be reckoned with. The descriptive writing and extraordinarily alive dialogue to be found here could only have come from a writer of exceptional promise.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
