The Last Septembe r 

Book Club Virtual Meeting

February 17, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.

 

This month we will be reading The Last September by Elisabeth B owen, an Anglo-Irish writer and one of last century’s greatest woman writer s. All AWCH members are invited to join.

The Last September ... paints a pi cture of the Anglo-Irish gentry in 1920 in muscular, but terminal, decline. Behind the facade of set-piece dinners, tennis parties and army camp dance s, all know that the end is approaching. These characters, with their confl icting desires and divided loyalties, are heading for unavoidable disaster; and this is clear from the outset. As a critic has said:

‘What makes The Last September so vividly poignant is that it never turns a judgmental eye on either side of its many small skirmishe s, whether it’s a nation fighting for independence from a ruler reluctant t o cede control or a girl struggling to free herself from a paternalistic so ciety that has served her people well for centuries. Instead, it merely pre sents its complicated world as a given, and lets us follow its inhabitants as they try to navigate clear paths for themselves through moral uncertaint ies.’” (Ian d’Alton, The Irish Times, January 16, 2017)

We hope you will join us for the discussion of this n ovel set in Ireland, which Bowen described as “fiction with a texture of hi story”.
