Celia Fremlin Books Overview
The Hours Before Dawn
This novel, one of the ‘Virago Crime Classics’, combines humour with a look at the danger and suspense in the tyranny of motherhood. It also explores the redeeming power of love.
Possession
Clare Erskine thought it was a wonderful stroke of luck that her 19 year old daughter, Sarah, was engaged to marry an accountant. Sarah, would live happily everafter and Clare pull ahead in the unspoken race that mothers run. But beneath the surface of suburban tranquillity, lies a story of a possessive mother and her twisted son.
Appointment with Yesterday
Milly Barnes, a middle aged woman with an assumed name, is on the run. She is driven by her fear that at any moment the remorseless arm of the law will catch up with her. The cause of her terror is ultimately revealed in flashback. The author’s previous books include ‘Appointment with Yesterday‘.
The Echoing Stones
Arnold Walter’s job as caretaker and tour guide at a Tudor mansion becomes complicated by the arrival of his wayward daughter, Flora, and by the possible murder of Sir Henry Penrose, a senile octogenarian historian given to spontaneous bizarre behavior.
