Sharing those Golding moments of a glorious past

The Children of Lovers

Their children, David and Judy, may have been victimised by the absorption of their parents in one another, but they were not neglected or mistreated except, perhaps (and it is a perhaps that even Judy Golding herself admits as a qualification) by an absence of emotional loyalty.

Her book is designed, wisely, as a memoir; the critical biography has already been taken care of by John Carey (2009) and this publication coincides with the centenary of William Golding’s birth in England in 1911.
