Stevie Smith by Frances Spalding
A biography of the poet Stevie Smith‘Confident and very readable. . one of Frances Spalding’s achievements in this book is to display Stevie Smith’s frailties without destroying her dignity’
-- Victoria Glendinning, Literary Review‘A careful, informative and worthwhile book’
-- Hermione Lee, The Observer‘It is a biography of inner life. It is also a hymn to tenebrous suburbia, a book full of English oddness, and a lovely loamish read.'
