Novels :
A House and Its Head
by Ivy Compton-Burnett (1892-1969) English
Introduction by Francine Prose
Abuse, adultery, incest, and murder: these are at the center of Compton-Burnett's darkly comic novels. Among the most unsparing,
A House and Its Head
dissects the domestic establishment of Duncan Edgeworth, a tyrannical pater familias who can't stop remarrying, while his daughters can't get married at all. Soon the family's conflicting interests set off a series of appalling transgressions, made all the more scary by the ease with which, in the end, the survivors accept the results.
