A House of Air by Penelope Fitzgerald
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HERMIONE LEE The previously uncollected occasional prose of a great English writer full of wit, feeling and illumination.‘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
Penelope Fitzgerald was one of the most distinctive voices in British literature. The prizewinning author of nine novels, three biographies, one collection of short stories, she died in 2000.
