A perfectEnglish couple of the late 1940s.As a portrait of a marriage, with all the bittersweet secrets and surprising fulfillment of the fifty-year union of tworemarkable people, this novel is a triumph. The Man in the Wooden Hat is fiction of a very high order from a greatnovelist working at the pinnacle of her considerable power.
