[a:Edward Upward|10251|Edward Upward|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]'s writing has such a flow. I really enjoyed this collection of stories and would like to find out much more about his writing.

This collection is a very interesting look into the mood of an era, the life of Britain between the two World Wars. The changes in society, the struggles with internal and external conflicts. Since the writing is so subjective, the line between reality and one's internal world is blurred, just like the way real experiences are. This is expressed most in the longest story of the collection, the Journey to the Border.

I cannot say I understood all the message from a distance of almost a century, but surely I'll re-read this later.
