Still Life

A. S. Byatt’s Still Life is the second novel in her acclaimed Frederica Quartet, following The Virgin in the Garden. Set in 1950s England, the story follows the Potter family as they navigate love, faith, ambition, and loss. At the center is Frederica Potter, a fiercely intelligent young woman pursuing life at Cambridge, contrasted with her sister Stephanie’s path of marriage and faith. With richly drawn characters and sharp observations on art, family, and society, Still Life is a moving portrait of postwar Britain.

Perfect for readers who enjoy literary fiction, British family sagas, and stories about women balancing personal and intellectual life.
