Catherine Carter tells of two ardent people who loved each other passionately and who have to fight to bring their love to fulfilment. They also have to fight a conflict between themselves, for, despite their love, their ambitions clash head-on. This conflict is presented without any softening of the truth, and no such relation has ever been treated with greater warmth, compassion, depth of understanding. Set in the theatrical London of the 1880's, the story opens when Henry Peverel is a youngish actor rising to the height of his power and fame. He has every needful gift, but he cannot bear competition. Into his company is introduced an aspiring actress, Catherine Carter, fifteen years younger, just at the start of her career. Almost at once she loves and venerates Henry; but she believes that she can become his artistic equal. Much has to happen before he returns her love and the two are united on this plane while on the artistic plane, both continue to struggle with the other's nature and their own.

Über den Autor Pamela Hansford Johnson

Pamela Hansford Johnson shocked the public at age twenty-three when she published This Bed Thy Centre (1935), a sexually frank novel inspired by her romance with Dylan Thomas. Its success allowed Johnson to quit secretarial work and launch a full-time literary career. She would publish twenty-six more novels, and though Johnson's career was overshadowed in her lifetime by that of her second husband, the novelist C. P. Snow, The Unspeakable Skipton (1959) retains a more passionate following than any of her other books, or his.
