Description: Books do Furnish a Room is the tenth novel of Anthony Powell's long sequence "A Dance to the Music of Time." It opens in the winter of 1945/46 as Britain settles back into peacetime, though not without annoying rationing and shortages. [Nick] Jenkins has come to his old university for research towards a biography on Robert Burton, but soon first himself involved in the launch of a new literary magazine with distinct leftist tones. --Christopher Culver at Amazon.com.
