It’s now a year and half since I completed my second real-time review of my son’s mighty novel SOLAGE (written from 2011 to 2024 under the pseudonym Nicolas Ashley or Nimbus Ashley) — my final gestalt review before retiring from such an activity, an event that had been pre-planned well before doing so.
The author has now drawn attention to a significant chiming with steampunk and portals in Elizabeth Bowen’s final novel EVA TROUT (the chapter 10: ‘Summer’s Day’ that I reviewed here: https://nemonymousnight.wordpress.com/864-2/#comment-820 ) and he had not read this novel until these recent weeks of 2025! I had lent him the book recently . So obscure for Elizabeth Bowen’s fame, it is not even on Kindle! Possibly her most ground-breaking novel, though.
The same chapter contains the seminal quote about elbows that I discovered when reading it: “She bowed her head, acceptingly, then folded her arms, consoling the elbows.” So apt for the last novel of ELizabeth BOWen.
