Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins. www.doorway.ru Description: Babel Tower follows The Virgin in the Garden and Still Life in tracing Frederica Potter, a lover of books who reflects the author's life and times. It centers around two lawsuits: in one, Frederica -- a young intellectual who has married outside her social set -- is challenging her wealthy and violent husband for custody of their child; in the other, an unkempt but charismatic rebel is charged with having written an obscene book, a novel. Reading A.S. Byatt is a revelation. While this may not be one of her better works, even a sub-par work from Byatt is a grillion times better than the works of other prominent fiction writers today. The Virgin in the Garden tells the story of the Potter family, in particular the youngest daughter Frederica, and a deeply thoughtful playwright who becomes awkwardly enmeshed in the family's affairs.
