It really is an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of detracting faults. The author's 19th novel. The title of the book is a quotation from a poem, 'The Ship of Death' by D.H. Lawrence about mortality: "Piecemeal the body dies,and the timid soul/has her footing washed away,as the dark flood rises." Fran may be old but she's not going without a fight. So she dyes her hair,enjoys every glass of red wine, drives around the country for her job with a housing charity and lives in an insalubrious tower block that her loved ones disapprove of. And as each of them - her pampered ex Claude,old friend Jo,flamboyant son Christopher and earnest daughter Poppet - seeks happiness in their own way,what will the last reckoning be? Will they be waving or drowning when the end comes? By turns joyous and profound,darkly sardonic and moving,'The Dark Flood Rises' questions what makes a good life,and a good death. This triumphant,bravura novel takes in love,death,sun-drenched islands,poetry, Maria Callas,tidal waves,surprise endings - and new beginnings.
