Uncle Paul - Softcover

In the award-winning Fremlin's second novel, it's been 15 years since Uncle Paul's wife, Mildred, exposed him as a murderer, sending the man to prison. Now Mildred's seaside holiday with her family forms the scene for a tense drama of suspicion, betrayal, and revenge. "Beautifully played out to a startling and valid ending ... Fremlin is here to stay as a major mistress of insight and suspense." — The New York Times.

Celia Fremlin (1914–2009) read classics and philosophy at Oxford's Somerville College. Her WWII experiences with the Mass Observation Project influenced her first book, War Factory, which reflected the attitudes of plant workers at a Wiltshire-based radar equipment factory. Fremlin wrote 16 novels in the course of four decades, in addition to a book of poetry and three volumes of collected stories. Her novel The Hours Before Dawn won the Edgar Award in 1960.
