£2500 Prize Novel
BOARDING-HOUSE in Tientsin is the setting of Nina Fedorova’s Atlantic Prize Novel "The Family," and the people are. the members of a Russian family of exiles, and their changing company of guests. Outside, the rumours and threats of the Japanese invasion; within, the distresses and comedies of this motley household. Hearts of gold, queer cards, angels in disguise (and liquor), snobs, stuffed-shirts, pious frauds, and a philosophical bulldog. They’re drawn in very clear, lively colours; and I think most readers will enjoy them tremmendously-(From Book Review by jJ. H. E. Schroder, 3YA, May 13.)
