In lushly evocative language, Smart recounts her love affair with the poet George Barker with an operatic grandeur that takes in the tragedy of her passion; the suffering of Barker's wife;the children the lovers conceived.
By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept has been hailed by critics worldwide as a work of sheer genius.
