Taylor is a fearsome writer, ruthless in her examination of solitude, and a sparkling chronicler of ordinary lives
Elizabeth Taylor’s darkest novel … She writes with a sensuous richness of language that draws the reader down the most shadowy paths … Extremely beguiling. Taylor makes the living moment present, touchable, disturbing, enchanting - Helen Dunmore
Elizabeth Taylor is finally being recognised as an important British author: an author of great subtlety, great compassion and great depth. As a reader, I have found huge pleasure in returning to Taylor’s novels and short stories many times over. As a writer I’ve returned to her too - in awe of her achievements, and trying to work out how she does it - Sarah WatersTaylor is a fearsome writer, ruthless in her examination of solitude, and a sparkling chronicler of ordinary lives - DAILY TELEGRAPHTaylor’s marvellous, dark novel of 1949 … The writing is so perfectly pitched that one almost resents becoming aware of the novel’s elegant structure unfolding itself towards completion - GuardianAbout The Author
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor (1912-1975) is increasingly recognised as one of the best British writers of the twentieth century. She wrote her first book, At Mrs Lippincote’s, during the war while her husband was in the Royal Air Force, and this was followed by eleven further novels and a children’s book, Mossy Trotter. Her acclaimed short stories appeared in publications including Vogue, the New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar.
