A Stairway To Paradise
A Stairway to Paradise is classic Madeleine St John: poignant, witty, full of sharp and subtle observations.
Alex and Andrew are friends. And Barbara…Barbara is a goddess. Here is the eternal triangle, the story of three people locked in an unhappy tangle of emotions, none able to articulate the precise quality of their longing and dissatisfaction. In St John’s hands, what is commonplace is transformed and transcendent.
This is the work of an extraordinary writer.
Praise for A Stairway to Paradise:
‘Not much in the way of folly escapes Madeleine St John, and the oubliette she opens into the darker reaches of the spirit is unsettling.’
— The Times
‘St John proves herself a comic, humane observer.’
— Newsday
‘Madeleine St John is brilliant on the elliptical way lovers talk to each other.’
— Daily Telegraph
