About This Item
Synopsis
Penelope Knox Fitzgerald is a Booker Prize-winning English novelist, poet, and essayist. Her novel, Offshore , was the recipient of the Man Booker prize in 1979. In this story a fascinating group of mild eccentrics are living on riverboats moored on the Thames in an area known as Battersea Reach. Most of the attention is focused on Nenna, a bohemian Canadian expatriate whose husband has left her and who is left veritably struggling to keep things afloat. Ms. Fitzgerald does a spectacular job of inviting the reader in to witness how each member of the group has the capacity to complicate the lives of the others. It is a fabulous comedy with a definite edge that will linger long after the story is told.
