| First published in 1960, Pomp and Circumstance, Coward s only novel, was greeted with wide critical acclaim. A South Sea Bubble of a book it is, with a Royal Visit expected on the Island of Samolo, and the narrator, a mother of three, dealing with everything from chicken-pox to the amours of a visiting Duchess (Daily Telegraph); If there is anywhere on earth where the old Coward world still credibly lingers on, it is probably a fairly peaceful tropical colony ruled over by a British Governor General . . . Coward s long cast list might have walked out of one of his better comedies (Evening Standard); It is all good, near-clean fun, magnificently readable (Sunday Times). |
