Mrs. Aubrey, a former concert pianist, struggles to keep the family afloat, but then she is something of a high-strung eccentric herself, as is all too clear to her daughter Rose, through whose loving but sometimes cruel eyes events are seen. Still, living on the edge holds the promise of the unexpected, and the Aubreys, who encounter furious poltergeists, turn up hidden masterpieces, and come to the aid of a murderess, will find that they have adventure to spare.<br><br>In <i>The Fountain Overflows</i>, a 1957 best seller, Rebecca West transmuted her own volatile childhood into enduring art. This is an unvarnished but affectionate picture of an extraordinary family, in which a remarkable stylist and powerful intelligence surveys the elusive boundaries of childhood and adulthood, freedom and dependency, the ordinary and the occult. 99891 book 1957 The Fountain Overflows total:116|5:60|4:36|3:16|2:2|1:2| 116 498 253 25 5 3 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Thu Mar 06 08:58:34 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 06 08:58:34 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1970 Thu Oct 09 12:45:30 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 13:07:00 -0700 2008 3 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Sep 21 07:04:38 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 12 09:26:16 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sat Nov 14 15:18:59 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 15:26:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1977 Wed Nov 28 21:02:27 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 28 21:04:20 -0800 2007 4 0 false true Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Wed Apr 09 08:35:22 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 07:18:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Nov 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 23:23:58 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 23:26:52 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Oct 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 04 12:33:26 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 12:38:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Thu Apr 30 11:36:03 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 11:37:11 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Mon Feb 23 10:44:46 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 10:44:46 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Aug 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 08:12:09 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 11:48:03 -0700 2009
