More About the Author
Product Description
Review
‘Of all the novelists in English of the last quarter-century, Penelope Fitzgerald has the most unarguable claim on greatness.’ Philip Hensher
‘This generous selection of essays, reviews, introductions and other occasional writings proves yet again that stylistically, intellectually and morally Fitzgerald couldn’t put a foot wrong if she’d tried. Hers is an impeccable and unique voice not just from another century but another world.’ Michael Dibdin, Books of the Year, Daily Telegraph
‘Remarkable. It is the range of her scholarship that impresses.’ Doris Lessing, Books of the Year, Daily Telegraph
‘An intelligent writer, superbly and unfailingly so. Wise and funny, with a dry wit allied to a great emotional sympathy.’ Sunday Times
Daily Telegraph
'Moral, restrained and quietly lyrical...the collection finishes with a selection of sharply funny and warm autobiographical pieces'

Best Collection of Essays I have Ever Read
23 May 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a fantastic collection--the literary equivalent of a box of fine quality chocolates. It is a perfect book to pick up and put down; entertaining, thoughtful, full of insights on a whole range of subjects, and beautifully written. I can't recommend it highly enough.
