ReviewsThe characters and story come alive in an almost incredible way, quite beyond anything achieved by conventional methods of writing., A novel of projections, protractions, long shots, and shadows flying ahead, a slow fall. Uncommonly close to the quick of experience, the sentences are short but they are glancing--the effect can be magically exhilarating, as when the knife thrower does not pierce but surrounds the living target, and it is the reader whose heart is thereby found. The sinister world of Concluding is beautiful, side-lit and colored like an undersea kingdom., Peculiar and beautiful--I love Concluding for the glorious, syntax-straining sentences that flare out of nowhere, and full of wild energies., The characters and story come alive in an almost incredible way, quite beyond anything achieved by conventional methods of writing

SynopsisConcluding --set in a single summer day--has at its heart old Mr. Rock, a famous retired scientist: he lives in a cottage on the grounds of a girl's boarding school. Living with him is Elizabeth, his somewhat unstrung granddaughter; his white cat; his white goose; and Daisy, his white pig. Miss Edge and Miss Baker--the two inseparable spinster harpies who run the school--scheme to dislodge him from the cottage. Concluding opens with the discovery that two of the schoolgirls have vanished in the night: searching, eavesdropping, worrying, jostling, and giggling all ensue. A love affair, a dance, that magnificent pig, small joys, and low ambitions all stream together, crowding up to the reader's eye, as Henry Green brews up an enchanting, heartbreaking, and darkly sunny novel., Concluding--set in a single summer day--has at its heart old Mr. Rock, a famous retired scientist: he lives in a cottage on the grounds of a girl's boarding school.
