Description

Babel Tower is the third novel in A. S. Byatt's highly acclaimed Frederica quartet.

Frederica is embroiled in two law cases, twin strands of the Establishment's web: a painful divorce and custody suit, and the prosecution of an "obscene" book. Frederica's personal and legal crises mirror an age; alongside Frederica's intellectual life teaching at art school in London are the diverging cultural worlds of the Beatles and the advent of computer languages.
