The Waterfall (novel)

The Waterfall is a 1969 novel by British novelist Margaret Drabble.

The novel is one of Drabble's more experimental narratives, starting as a third person narrative but quickly dominated by a first person protagonist Jane Gray, to guide the reader through her love affair and life.

[1] The New York Times reviewer Maureen Howard gave the novel mixed reviews, suggesting that it wasn't artistic enough.

[1] Howard writes that the novel is missing a "richness of seemingly effortless design, that is missing in Margaret Drabble's work.

Like her heroine, she is still confined in a self-conscious world.
