"A House and Its Head is Ivy Compton-Burnett's subversive look at the politics of family life, and perhaps the most unsparing of her novels. No sooner has Duncan Edgeworth's wife died than he takes a new, much younger bride whose willful ways provoke a series of transgressions that begins with adultery and ends, much to everyone's relief, in murder. "--Publisher's description.

Edgar et Blanche Gaveston mènent une existence paisible entourés de leurs quatre enfants. L'un d'eux, Dudley, annonce un jour qu'il hérite une fortune de son parrain, et que Maria Sloane, une amie de la famille, vient passer quelques jours parmi eux. Dans ce huis clos familial, publié en 1939, où tous les rapports sont des rapports de force, il n'est question que d'argent.
