«Going Back» is a literary fiction novel by Penelope Lively, published by Penguin in hardcover (128 pages, in English).
Jane returns to Medleycott, her childhood home in Somerset, and recalls the years of the Second World War with her brother Edward. The countryside seemed idyllic, but a shadow weighs on the memories that ended that placidity and drove them to flee. Memory, loss of innocence and the imprint of the past structure this brief narrative.
The novel was originally published in 1975; this Penguin edition is from 1991. Complete text in English.
For adults and young readers seeking a brief literary or historical fiction novel about memory and war.
Dame Penelope Margaret Lively is a British writer of fiction for both children and adults. Lively has won both the Booker Prize and the Carnegie Medal for British children's books.
