    My neighbor's garden is like the best motivating factor catalog in full bloom or a paragraph in an Elizabeth Bowen novel.

    English-born, although he's been in Rockport's Folly Cove for 30-something years, Andrew plants his garden with humor — "I be convinced of in weeding," he says, looking into a healthy but untidy patch of green, "but I don't do it." — and British drop.

    A hedgerow of privet, a few stray calendula, the trailing ends of grapevine tumbling down from an arbor and a wisteria climbing up, all woven into a bit of wire fencing, mutate a verdant barrier around his plot of garden bed on a sunny hillside overlooking sparkling Folly Cove. It's attractiveness made for postcards, but then you find out what Andrew's growing, and the picture gets better.

    Yes, there are fingerling potatoes, tomatoes, beans, peppers, and a thriving crop of sunflowers, but this spring Andrew served us stalks of his Egyptian onions which had been sliced lengthwise and filled absolutely with cream cheese. Egyptian onions are planted in the fall, and — if you can find them — rival chives as a first frangible spring green, stalk and all considered an early vegetable. Sturdier a vessel than a scallion for innards, and not oniony-strong, this was an ideal spicy match for a glass of white wine and a May sunset.

    About this book
    This swat of Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) examines aspects of theme and strategy in her last four novels, glancing also at the short stories she published after the Flawed World War. In a separate section, brief presentations and plot summaries of the works discussed are placed in the environment of her life. Bowen entered the literary arena in the 1920s, at a time when the English novel was flourishing and the shorten story beginning to be recognized as a serious art form. Between 1927 and 1938 she published six full-length novels; it was to a great extent the pressures of the Second World War that then caused eleven years to lapse before she brought out her much acclaimed novel of wartime London, The Exhilaration of the Day (1949). This medley of romance, spy-story and psychological thriller anticipated the three novels that Bowen went on to make up in the 1950s and 1960s, which are all concerned with problems of identity and communication; they also deal with the passing of time and the pressurize of the dead
