Jane Austen, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Pym, Elizabeth Bowen - soul-sisters all - Anne TylerElizabeth Taylor had the keenest eye and ear for the pain lurking behind a genteel demeanour - Paul Bailey, GuardianHow deeply I envy any reader coming to her for the first time! - Elizabeth Jane HowardHow skilfully and with what peculiar exhilaration she negotiated the minefield of the human heart - SpectatorTaylor has the genius of making her characters understood, sometimes with an almost frightening clarity, perhaps because she is compassionate as well as relentless in her delineation of them - New York TimesShe’s a magnificent and underrated mid-20th-century writer, the missing link between Jane Austen and John Updike - IndependentAbout 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.
