The second part of the classic masterpiece "The Coming of Ages" by Byatt, the world's leading literary figure and winner of the Booker Prize, has been released in Chinese for the first time. (The four parts are "Girl in the Garden", "Still Life", "Tower of Babel" and "The Whistling Woman") The author of this book is Booker Prize winner A. S. Byatt, who was named one of the 50 great British writers since 1945 by The Times.

Carefully translated by Huang Xie'an, associate professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Advanced Translation and Interpretation of Shanghai International Studies University, with a postscript that decodes the mental journey of the characters in detail in the book 2.

To help you understand and thoroughly understand the master's classics. In the UK in the 1950s, a pair of sisters from an elite family of intellectuals entered a new stage of life: after marriage, the world of sister Stephanie became increasingly narrow: filled with her husband's tired complaints, her mother-in-law's mean and difficult things, and the overwhelming number of baby diapers, but there was no room for a volume of her beloved Wordsworth's poetry. She became "Mother" and "Mrs. Orton"... But lost "Stephanie". After entering college, her sister Frederica's life became more and more broad: from Paris to Cambridge, from Van Gogh to Shakespeare, from one man to another, through glory and humiliation, and into the unknown. She trembles, enjoys, desires, is full of energy and never stops.
