The Eliot Quartet #4
Goodnight, Vivienne, Goodnight
From one of our finest writers - winner of the Miles Franklin, the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Prime Minister's Literary Award - comes a wistful and emotional story that imagines a happier ending for the mercurial and complicated Vivienne Haigh-Wood, first wife of the great poet, TS Eliot.
London, June 1940. With help from friends, Vivienne Haigh-Wood, the wife of celebrated poet TS Eliot, is about to effect a daring escape from Northumberland House, the private insane asylum where she has been held for the past four years. Her family, and most particularly her husband, think she's insane - and maybe she has been, in the past, Vivienne thinks, mad with love, that is, but she is starting to finally feel like herself again.
There is an old law, Vivienne has been told, that if a person can break out of an asylum and stay free for thirty days, proving they can look after themselves, they can't make you go back. But closing in on Vivienne is the young Detective Sergeant Stephen Minter, a man with a hidden past of his own, who has orders to track her down...
With Goodnight, Vivienne, Goodnight, Steven Carroll completes his critically acclaimed, award-winning and much-loved Eliot Quartet. This novel is a poignant, deeply felt and intensely moving novel of beginnings, endings and reinvention, about the aftermath of a marriage and the reassembling of a broken woman. A delicate dance between what was and what might have been, between fact and fiction, the novel tells a daringly revisionary story of Vivienne - TS Eliot's first wife, the 'mad woman in the attic' - imagining a wholly different and entirely satisfying ending to her story.

A truly exceptional piece of writing by Steven Carroll. Strangely enough I did not delve into the Character of Vivienne Haigh-Wood, as captivating as she was. It was the character of Detective Sergeant Stephen Minter that I was absorbed into it. I was completely mesmerised by his history and his own secrets along with his character development as he unlocked the path of the missing ex wife of TS Elliot, Vivienne Haigh-Wood.
This book is a lovely light read filled with heart, history, endings and new beginnings. it bought me hope and happiness.

I liked this book a lot more by the end. It tells the story of an episode in people’s lives, in this case TS Eliot’s wife Vivienne, over a few short weeks in 1940. Luckily it’s a short book, this allows for quite an intense approach to the situation she finds herself in. A policeman is the other key figure, also drawn in glimpses which reveal a lot. There are many other threads running through the story.

Goodnight, Vivienne, Goodnight by Steven Carroll is the fourth book in his T. S. Eliot series. Vivienne’s story, as imagined by Carroll is fascinating, but what really drew me into this story was Detective-Sergeant Stephen Minter, the policeman assigned to hunt down Vivienne after her escape from the lunatic asylum. I could have read a whole book just about him.
My favourite of the four books was the first story, The Lost Love, although A New England Affair has stayed with me too. Obviously, it was Emily Hale’s side of the story that captured my imagination the most.
"The September sun was wasted on them as they walked about the deck, Tom and Vivienne. Southampton, 1932. A date etched into her diary."

I feel like there is a chunk of the story missing and unresolved. What happened to the parents of the second man in character? Interesting all the same.

With the publication of Goodnight, Vivienne, Goodnight, Steven Carroll brings to a close his Eliot Quartet based on characters from the life of the poet T S Eliot. This final novel focusses on the Vivienne, Eliot's troubled first wife, the one who was said to be an hysteric and a harridan. In real life TSE left the marriage and she ended up in an asylum, unvisited by TSE who was busy being famous in a way that few poets are. In Carroll's novel he is a celebrity, at a time when the word had barely been invented.
And Britain is at war with Germany. It is July 1940 and the streets are sandbagged but the real horror of the Blitz is yet to come. Into this impending chaos comes Vivienne, successfully making her escape from the asylum with the help of her sympathetic friend Louise Purdoy and George from the Lunacy Law Reform Society. Vivienne is in the hands of a covert network of people who engineer escapes from asylums so that the inmate can take advantage of an old law which offered the possibility of freedom to anyone who could break out and stay free for 30 days. Louise Purdoy thinks that Vivienne is as sane as anybody else, and so she wants to help her.
Vivienne, of course, has to lie low, as any escapee does, but she doesn't. She likes to be out and about, as anyone does. (I suspect that Carroll's experience of Melbourne's Lockdowns influenced her realistic yearning to escape being confined indoors.) Fatally, perhaps, she just can't resist a TSE public appearance where he is to do a reading of 'East Coker', (the second of his Four Quartets, published in real life in 1940.)
Vivienne turning up and creating a scene at a public appearance is exactly what TSE fears, and he has powerful friends. She had been committed in the first place because of a public 'episode' involving a knife and hysterical rantings about TSE being beheaded. Adding to the panic is a stabbing episode involving a Lord and his ex-wife. So Detective Stephen Minter is assigned to find Vivienne ASAP.
Minter might be a fugitive too, of a sort. His parents fled anti-Semitism in Australia, and he grew up in England. They are secular Jews and have settled into English life well, but they (like Minter himself) are at risk of being interned as Aliens. He has worked hard to assimilate, masking his accent and (in passages reminiscent of
The Gift of Speed
(2004) from Carroll's
Glenroy novels
) becoming devoted to cricket. But just as TSE can't quite shake off his Missouri origins, Minter retains slight traces of his past. And just as TSE is not really part of the British Establishment, much as he would like to be, Minter isn't really on their side. He's not sure that he wants to find Vivienne. He's not convinced that she is insane. But he does have an Englishman's sense of duty...

In anticipation of the publication of Carroll’s last novel in his Eliot Quartet, I reread the first three: “The Lost Life”, “A World of Other People”, and “A New England Love Affair”. This publication, “Goodnight, Vivienne, Goodnight”, was a captivating conclusion to the series that had imaginatively portrayed the life of poet T.S Eliot, who was consistently in the background of the stories of various young lovers whose own lives obliquely touched his.
Eliot’s turbulent marriage to Vivienne, particularly his first wife’s lifelong struggle with mental illness, was in the foreground of his later relationships and finally was at the centre of this fourth novel. The wounded character of Vivienne is intensely drawn by Carroll, referencing her moments of madness and pain throughout their tumultuous relationship and, ultimately, poignantly portraying her with dignity as her sanity was restored. Her characterisation is stunning as Carroll builds a connection between the reader and the recovering Vivienne, helped undoubtedly by the inclusion of the sympathetic policeman, Stephen Minter, who is assigned to locate her after her escape from a mental asylum to which she had been committed.
Most intriguing was Minter, a young, Jewish policeman whose inclusion in the story allowed Carroll to portray Eliot’s antisemitism, another reason to find the arrogant poet most dislikeable. The structure of the novel, its moving back and forth from past incidents to the present, allowed us to measure the growth of characters like Vivienne and Minter, who overshadowed the fame and arrogance of the “great” T.S. Eliot most spectacularly.

This is the final book in Steven Carroll's Eliot Quartet and he's back to his best with this one.
The focus of this book is Tom Eliot's wife Vivienne Haigh Wood, who in real life suffered from some serious mental health issues and was committed to an asylum by her brother where she stayed for nine years before dying there.
In Goodnight, Vivienne, Goodnight Steven Carroll envisages a different, kinder life for Vivienne. Here, her stay in the asylum heals her mind, and with the help of a friend she is sprung from the place and hidden away in the suburbs. An ancient law decrees that if she can stay free for thirty days, and a judge agrees, then she won't have to go back.
While Vivienne waits out those 30 days she reflects back on her ill-fated marriage to Tom, while a young detective sergeant, Stephen Minter, is tasked with finding the escaped mad wife of the famous poet. Stephen's enquiries also reveal more about Vivienne's life and he finds his sympathies start to align with hers. Perhaps this is why Steven Carroll gave his detective the same first name as him - perhaps he too, found his sympathies for Vivienne growing over the course of his quartet.
Carroll writes beautifully and the pace of the book is unhurried, allowing full appreciation of the prose. This is a perfect ending to the quartet.

This is a delightful, easy read about Vivienne Haigh Wood, T S.Eliot's first wife, who, in this the final of Carroll's Eliot Quartet, escapes from a private asylum where she has been for years, in the hope of staying 'free' for thirty days, thereby fulfilling the old law that would apparently allow her freedom for life.
While this is an easy, heart-warming read, there is still considerable depth to the book, causing us to consider issues around sanity, growing old, trust, unhappy marriages and what fulfills 'doing the right thing'.
I found myself drawn in by all the characters, Vivienne, Det Sgt Stephen Minter, Brigid, T.S.Eliot himself and the lesser characters of Vivienne's friend Louise, her brother Maurice and Eliot's secretary, Miss Fleming. Carroll has a way of making every character he mentions come alive. And the wonderfully preposterous idea of the Lunacy Law Reform Society is delightful.
There are aspects of this book that are, no doubt, sentimental, but somehow never corny or mushy, and I enjoyed every word. I will definitely be tracking down the first three in the series. *****

This is the final in the Eliot quartet and once again Tom Eliot, now known to the world as T S Eliot the esteemed poet, remains a shadowy figure on the periphery of the action. This is Vivienne's story. It is 1940 and Vivienne, the wife of Tom Eliot escapes the private asylum where she has been incarcerated for the past three years. Tom has not so much as visited her in that time, in fact his desertion of her precipitated her breakdown.
Vivienne believes that according to an archaic law, if she remains at large for 30 days she cannot be forced to return. But Stephen Minter, a young detective, is on the case to apprehend her.
It was a wonderful "ride", beautifully written with fascinating insights into Eliot's poetry and I loved the ending.

This book loosely follows the story of Vivienne Haighwood, the ‘mad’ wife of writer T.S Elliot, as she escapes from a mental asylum and hides from the authorities for four weeks. Apparently, if someone can elude authorities for a month and prove they can look after themselves, they can remain free. I was expecting tension and thriller moments in this book but it was disappointingly uneventful. I did enjoy our journey into Vivienne’s mind, however, and the blurry, uncertain nature of her sanity. The book would suit readers of literary fiction and history, just not those looking for a gripping police chase.

The final novel in Steven Carroll's Eliot quartet, this is a sympathetic re-imagining of Vivienne Eliot's life in which she is freed from Northumberland House, the asylum to which she had been committed in 1938 following her separation from T.S. Eliot, on the grounds of insanity. It's a wonderfully written, moving and insightful book, empathetic to Vivenne's plight to the extent that one wishes the story was true. In reality, of course Vivienne remained in the asylum where she died in 1947, having never once been visited by Tom.
This book is inspired by the Eliot poem "East Coker" from his Four Quartets.

Couldn’t put this book down. Loved it from start to end. It was recommended to me but when I went looking for it and found that it was the 4th book I read the other three first. The first two were wonderful and the third was an absolute shocker. Not sure what happened there but the New England Affair was an abject failure. It nearly turned me off reading this but I am so happy to have soldiered on. What a wonderful concept to link 4 books in this way. Well done Stephen Carroll!

I was wanting to read this introduction to Stephen Minter after enjoying ‘Death of a Foreign Gentleman’. But most of what happened in this book had been already well covered in the later book. I guess that would have made me not impressed with the later book if I had read them in the correct order.
Anyway, I was taken neither with Mrs TS Eliot nor her persistent reflections of how fragile she had been or how far she had come in her mental health journey.
Now I’m at a loss to know whether I should continue the series or not.

I love Steven Carrol's writing, he is so succinct, he reminds me of the older actors with his writing only saying what needs to be said, messured but profound, he geniously combines fact with fiction, and weaves a story that draws you into his world. l have loved the four books based on T.S.Elliot, and surprised they have not been more widely read, unfortunate for those that have not had the pleasure.

A look at a month of the life of T.Eliot’s estranged wife Vivienne, as she escapes an asylum. Told from her point of view, and that of the detective who is tasked to find her, it is an interesting snippet of her life. The 4th of a quarter I didn’t find it lacking not having read any of the others in the series.

I really enjoy reading fictionalised accounts of real people. Vivienne is the wife of T S Eliot who she is separated from. She has spent years in an institution for being mentally unwell until she is helped to escape. Steven is the detective charged with finding her. The stories follows both Vivienne and Steven. I found this beautifully written while it deals with sensitive issues.

This novel is loosely based on part of the story of TS Eliot’s first wife. Her apparent escape from a mental institution is investigated by a sophisticated policeman who faces a moral dilemma in approaching the task.

Set in 1940s London, Vivienne Haigh-Wood plans to escape the asylum she has lived in for three years. As the separated wife of T. S. Eliot the police want to find her. This re-imagining is well written from different points of view. A good light read.

I enjoyed this literary look into the life of TS Elliot’s first wife Vivienne over a few months in 1940 when she is spirited out of the asylum Northumberland House. Meanwhile a detective is charged with finding her and the the two stories are told in tandem.

Steven Carroll is such a good author - I have loved everything he has written. I can’t work out why he’s not better known.
This book shows the inherent good in some people - Louise and the detective

GOODNIGHT, VIVIENNE, GOODNIGHT reimagines a happier ending for Vivienne, who was committed to an asylum for hysteria (later revealed to be closely linked with her menstrual cycle) and died several years later.
I found the character of Detective Sergeant Minter, the officer charged with finding Vivienne, particularly fascinating with his own demons and secrets blending into the investigation.
The prose in this novel is both beautiful and blunt, Carroll’s final instalment of his Eliot quartet can easily be read as a standalone, but I am now curious and eager to read more.

This book bored me to tears honestly, it was a struggle to get through.
I read the back and it seemed very promising but it slowwww, lacked details, no thrill and nothing “exciting” that made me want to keep reading.

This is the final novel in the quartet based on aspects of the life of T S Eliot. Carroll also draws on Eliot’s writing, particularly the Four Quartets. I heard Carroll speak once about his fascination with Eliot. All four books are interesting intellectually and written in Carroll’s recognisable style with its understated rhythms and cadences.
This novel focusses on the life of Vivienne, T S Eliot’s first wife. In reality, she suffered a breakdown after their separation and was admitted to a mental health institution which she never left. Carroll has changed her story to show her escape and her capacity somehow to come to terms with the damage her relationship with Eliot has caused her. Eliot does not come out well from this story. It is yet another book that rescues ‘the mad woman in the attic’, as Germaine Greer once described it.
I found this an absorbing novel but none of the Eliot series mean as much to me as Carroll’s Glenroy book in which he captures perfectly the Melbourne suburban scene especially in the 60s. I know there were many literary references that went over my head in this book. I have meant to read the original Four Quartets again and then re-read Carroll’s Eliot novels. I wonder if I actually will?
Three and a half stars.
