In Pat Barker's Liza's England, Liza Garrett is the first child in town born in the twentieth century—whose life in many ways mirrors the turmoils of England itself. The tough, severe, but very real and recognizable world of women is put to the most strenuous tests, and Liza, at eighty-four, is proof that loyalty, fortitude and humor survive.
