Ada Or Ardor
Vladimir Nabokov
Written in mischievous and magically flowing prose, Ada or Ardor- A Family Chronicle ranks as Nabokov's other great love story, with some of Lolita's perversity and much, much more of its master's playfulness. A romance that follows Ada from her first childhood meeting with Van on his uncle's country estate, in a 'dream-bright' America, through eighty years of rapture, Nabokov's 'longest, richest, most ambitious novel' also becomes, as Brian Boyd says, a great many other things- 'myth, fairy tale, utopian idyll, family chronicle, personal memoir, historical romance, erotic catalogue... picture gallery and filmic folly'.
