In a Father's Place

by Christopher Tilghman

Published 26 April 1990
Tilghman writes mainly about families - the way that they cope with marriage, breakdowns, widowhood and remarriage. It takes a very strong writer to stray into such regions without collapsing into sentimentality but Tilghman manages magnificently in this outstanding debut' FINANCIAL TIMES 'These stories evoke fresh, unpolluted countryside which nevertheless secrete the strange or mysterious, where intensities of landscape and feelings recall D H Lawrence' DAILY TELEGRAPH.
