The Loving Eye
Hogarth Press, 1956.
First edition. Dustwrapper artwork by Charles Mozley. A near fine copy (owner's name on endpaper) in a near fine pictorial dustwrapper.
One wild spring morning, looking across the gardens behind his Kensington home, Matthew Ligne sees a strange new woman at the window opposite. He becomes obsessed with her.
William Sansom, once described as London's equivalent to Franz Kafka, wrote in hallucinatory detail, bringing images into pin-sharp focus.
"Enchanting romantic comedy...in The Loving Eye, William Sansom is at his best - his blend of domestic wit with poetic fantasy, his almost uncannily close-up observations and his perceptive liking for human nature have, here, the ideal chance to come into play. I commend to you one of this autumn's most striking novels." (Contemporary review, Elizabeth Bowen)
