The Realms of Gold

Margaret Drabble

Original title: Gold unterm Sand

earliest edition we have, 1935 Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1975 326 pages

Drabble strikes gold with this novel about a famous archaeologist who is passionately in love with a married, slightly mad and very moral man. Alive with feeling and intelligence, endearing characters and feminist insights, this is one of the very best by an immensely gifted author.
