"C"

"C" by Maurice Baring is a monumental and inspiring homage to 20th-century family life from the point of view of a noble son falling into obsessive and fiery love with a self-centered and beautiful young woman. Excerpt; «They say we'll meet in some transfigured space, Beyond the sun. I need you here, in this familiar place Of tears and fun. I do not need you changed, dissolved in the air; Nor rarified; I need you all imperfect as you were Here, at my side.»
