'A stellar literary event . . . written with panache and an enviable economy . . . the biggest risk of her literary life' Margaret Atwood
According to Queeney is a masterly evocation of the last years of Dr Johnson, arguably Britain's greatest Man of Letters. The time is the 1770s and 1780s and Johnson, having completed his life's major work (he compiled the first ever Dictionary of the English Language) is running an increasingly chaotic life. Torn between his strict morality and his undeclared passion for Mrs Thrale, the wife of an old friend, According to Queeney reveals one of Britain's most wonderful characters in all his wit and glory. Above all, though, this is a story of love and friendship and brilliantly narrated by Queeney, Mrs Thrale's daughter, looking back over her life.

Zustand: Como nuevo. : Según Queeney de Beryl Bainbridge es una evocación magistral de los últimos años del Dr. Johnson, posiblemente el más grande hombre de letras de Gran Bretaña. La historia se desarrolla en las décadas de 1770 y 1780, y Johnson, tras completar la obra más importante de su vida (compiló el primer Diccionario de la lengua inglesa), lleva una vida cada vez más caótica. Dividido entre su estricta moralidad y su pasión no declarada por la Sra. Thrale, la esposa de un viejo amigo, Según Queeney revela a uno de los personajes más maravillosos de Gran Bretaña en todo su ingenio y gloria. Sobre todo, sin embargo, esta es una historia de amor y amistad y brillantemente narrada por Queeney, la hija de la Sra. Thrale, mirando hacia atrás en su vida.
