520 1 $a"The Pagoda in the Garden is a novel about how things changed and how they remained the same over the course of the twentieth century. Set in England during three distinct time periods between 1901 and 1975, the novel explores the lives of three sets of characters, the major ones being expatriate Americans. Since the various characters occupy roles that parallel and overlap each other, history (a history that ranges from the death of Queen Victoria to the end of the Vietnam War) comes to seem continuous and cyclical as well as catastrophic and disrupted. Above all, The Pagoda in the Garden is a novel about human emotions and the sometimes fraught, sometimes amusing complications they give rise to."--BOOK JACKET.
