This is the best novel I've read for a long time even though it's reread. I have read Turner Hospital's books for some years now and I'm amazed at how much I enjoy rereading them. Her characters resonate with life and conviction, her style delights, her control over her work reflects her professionalism and integrity. She's delight to read - a true artist.Product details

The Tiger in the Tiger Pit edition by Janette Turner Hospital Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This may be the best Hospital I've read. The title is from a line by T. S. Eliot and describes the patriarch of a family, Edward Carpenter, a retired school principal. The novel is set in a small town in Massachusetts around 1990 (though written in 1983)when Edward's wife is planning their fiftieth wedding anniversary party. She will invite of course, in addition to friends and former colleagues, their three children; Victoria, who is in a mental institution; Jason, a therapist in New York and Emily, a concert violinist living in England, along with her eight year old son Adam, whom her father Edward has never seen and didn't know existed until three years ago when Emily gave her first concert in the United States.
The novel is all about families how easily we as family members hurt each other; what happens when we don't forgive one other; the awfulness of hypocrisy; how we can redeem ourselves; that we can never really know our parents; that though we travel far away, we never get far from where we came; the roads not taken, lost opportunities; and, finally, that we never stop wanting to be loved by our family.
The plot has many unexpected twists, and there are many beautifully written, powerful scenes. In Chapter XIII Edward and Elizabeth travel to New York to hear Emily give her first concert in the U. S. This is one of the most moving passages I have read anywhere in a long time. I read and reread and read it yet again. Great fiction doesn't get better than this.
This is the best novel I've read for a long time even though it's reread. I have read Turner Hospital's books for some years now and I'm amazed at how much I enjoy rereading them. Her characters resonate with life and conviction, her style delights, her control over her work reflects her professionalism and integrity. She's delight to read - a true artist.
