Description: The Duke's Children is a novel about sorrow and loss, and about a parent s pained discovery that our children inevitably grow to love us less than we love them.
Review Quotes: "[The Duke's Children], edited by the American scholar Steven Amarnick, now appears in paperback, as an Oxford World's Classic. At long last, all the children of "The Duke's Children" are fully born. [...] Entombed for more than a century, the extended, original "Duke's Children" arrives as a stroke of good fortune. The inclusion of 65,000 additional words allows for a statelier pace, a suitable spaciousness wherein a headstrong Plantagenet can reconcile himself to the invincible unreason of young love." -- Brad Leithauser, Wall Street Journal
