Penelope Fitzgerald (1916-2000) is now acknowledged as one of the finest English novelists of the late 20th century. Introduced by her friend AS Byatt, this selection of her letters spans more than half a century. Their recipients range from family and intimate friends to fellow writers such as Sybille Bedford, Julian Barnes and Hilary Mantel. Tender, funny, sometimes scathing but always insightful, they produce a rounded picture of this remarkable woman as a mother, a writer and a friend.

‘Of all the novelists in English of the last quarter-century, Penelope Fitzgerald has the most unarguable claim on greatness.’ Philip Hensher
Reviews for ‘A House of Air’:
‘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
