Elizabeth Taylor’s ruthlessly observant study of eccentricity in old age is by turns savagely witty, joyfully funny and heartbreakingly sad.
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor is increasingly recognised as one of the best British writers of the 20th century.
She wrote her first book, At Mrs Lippincote’s, during the war, and this was followed by 11 further novels and a children’s book, Mossy Trotter. Her acclaimed short stories appeared in leading magazine publications such as Vogue, the New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar.
