OMG! (as Ms Fitzgerald would probably not have written) not only an author I have heard of but I've read TWO of her books that you mention.

Faints away ...

Will you be queuing up to get the biography when it's out? I'll bet not!
I expect you will be glad to hear, though, that among Vintage Books' other autumn releases are Colette's "Cheri", and "Gigi" and "The Cat". Miaow!

How well you know me! P x

How exciting. Hermione Lee is a great biographer - I'm sure she'll have done her subject justice. I'll certainly be buying it! I have "So I Have Thought of You" on a bookshelf which I'll now return to in preparation.

I have it preordered already, can't wait!

I thought the Blue Flower was brilliant and I have a copy of The Gate of Angels waiting on my shelves to be read. The biography sounds fabulous.
