Prisoner's base

Celia Fremlin

1967 · EN

A traditional Englishwoman who loves her garden finds that her obnoxious daughter, who is prone to taking in strangers who need help, is now plotting to sell a piece of property that doesn't belong to her. Claudia, a really dreadful modern young woman representative of the psychiatric enlightenment, collects misfits, inflicts them on her mother (a wonderful old lady) and daughter (a nice youngster)--most recently a young woman muddling around the house in hair curlers, and a poet with a prison record who writes gloomy sonnets. What happens will keep an unprotesting captive audience quiet--it's superb entertainment.
