The Fountain Overflows

The first book of the cult trilogy by British writer Rebecca West “The Saga of an Age,” based on events from her family’s life.

This novel, now considered classic, shows us the life of the Aubrey family—so gifted, and yet so unhappy. Mary and Rose, brilliant at the piano, their younger brother Richard Quine, and their older sister Cordelia—all of them become witnesses to how their father’s extravagance drives their family to ruin, while their mother, once a famous pianist, can’t change anything. But loving and loved, even under harsh conditions, the Aubreys find inner harmony in the music that fills their entire life—and they find support in each other.

Published in Russian for the first time.
