One of the most audacious modernist novels. Trevelyan takes us deeper into the mind of her subject than almost any writer ever attempted, creating an intense, absorbing experience.With stylistic daring, she recreates the stream of consciousness in its most moving form. As It Was in the Beginning is Trevelyan's most important work, a novel that belongs with To the Lighthouse or As I Lay Dying.

A masterpiece of humanism, Time Stood Still recounts Paul Cohen-Portheim's years of internment in England as an enemy alien during World War One. As Cohen-Portheim shows with grace, humour, and deep compassion, even under the best conditions, the simple act of being confined and placed in a sort of limbo is a form of torture: 'Where there is no aim, no object, no sense, there is no time.'
