Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments The Fountain Overflows, Rebecca West, 1956, England, NOVEL

"...Mama is discouraged but brave, "a nerve-jerked woman" able to "straighten her shoulders and cock her hat and assume the character of a smart and undefeated woman...The Fountain Overflows is a reader's feast of subtle, penetrating, and hilarious observations on childhood, social posturing, and Anglo-Saxon heritage."

(J.L., p. 146)
