Summary
Elizabeth Jane Howard (1923-2014) wrote brilliant novels about what love can do to people, but in her own life the lasting relationship she sought so ardently always eluded her. She grew up yearning to be an actress; but when that ambition was thwarted by marriage and the war, she turned to fiction. Her first novel, THE BEAUTIFUL VISIT, won the John Llewellyn Rhys prize - she went on to write fourteen more, of which the best-loved were the five volumes of THE CAZALET CHRONICLE.
