Overview

Approaching the watershed of her fiftieth birthday, Fanny, having long ago divorced Mr. Skeffington and dismissed him from her thoughts, is surprised to find herself thinking of him. While attempting to understand this unwelcome invasion, she meets, through a series of coincidences and deliberate actions, all those other men whose hearts she has broken. But their lives have irrevocably changed — and Fanny is no longer the exquisite beauty with whom they were one so enchanted. If she is to survive, Fanny discovers, she must confront a greatly altered perception of herself. With the delicate piquancy for which she is renowned, Elizabeth von Arnim reveals the complex emotions of ageing and the re-evaluation of self-worth.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Von Arnim (1866-1941), whose novel, The Enchanted April , was recently made into a film, offers stinging social commentary in this 1940 novel. Fanny Skeffington, divorced 22 years earlier and the veteran of many love affairs, is approaching her 50th birthday when she begins to have visions of her philandering ex-husband at the breakfast table. Upset, she visits an ``eminent nerve-and-women's-diseases specialist'' who angers her by implying that she is old. Fanny then begins a journey that leads her from one former lover to another, and they react to the aging Fanny with varying degrees of dismay. When she visits one man in the country, his simple young wife flinches at her addressing both of them as ``darling.'' She attends a Lent service given by a clergyman who once adored her and finds that he has taken vows of poverty and pities her. Eventually, odd circumstances reunite her with her ex-husband. Although Fanny's superficial observations are often comically ironic--she muses that lovers ``set so high a standard for one when first they fell in love that the exertion of keeping up to it wore one out''--there is a lightweight feel to this story of aging ungracefully. (Mar.)
