Celia

First published in 1937, the story revolves around a titular protagonist, a disillusioned housewife in her 40s who lives in a flat with her architect husband and two children. Instead of complaining about her dull life, she creates her own private world of thoughts that no one is allowed to enter. A poignant exploration of the oppressiveness of domesticity in Interwar Britain that will not disappoint those who have read and enjoyed other works by this author.
