It’s thatgood.’ – Ottessa Moshfegh, from the Foreword Publisher Description When Lord Jim at Home, was first published in 1973, it was described as ‘squalid and startling’,’nastily horrific’, and a ‘monstrous parody’ of upper- middle class English life. It is the storyof Giles Trenchard, who grows up isolated in an atmosphere of privilege and hidden violence; whogoes to war, and returns; and then, one day – like the hero of Joseph Conrad’s classic Lord Jim -commits an act that calls his past, his character, his whole world into question. Out of print for nearly half a century, Lord Jim at Home reveals a daring writer long overdue forreappraisal, whose work has retained all its originality and power. As Ottessa Moshfegh writes inher foreword to this new edition, Brooke evokes childhood vulnerability and adult cruelty ‘in a waythat nicepeople are too polite to admit they understand.’ Author Biography Dinah Brooke left Cheltenham Ladies’ College at sixteen to go to Paris, where she studied sculptureand Greek.
