Fourth in the series of novels called 'the only novels produced by an English writer that can be fairly compared with the fictions of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky' - George Steiner, The New Yorker Extravagant, exuberant and introspective, 'Maiden Castle' reveals characters that struggle with perplexities of love, desire and faith while the looming fortress of Maiden Castle exerts an otherworldy force that irrevocably determines the course of their lives. '[Powys] gives not warmth nor enlightenment, but enduring vision, enduring strength, enduring courage' - Henry Miller
