A revelation." --The New Yorker "A championing critical biography. . . . Richly illuminating. . . . It is, very movingly, a picture of a whole past life . . . with a reverence for her subject that is felt on every page." --The New York Review of Books "Rarely has a literary biography been more needed or necessary than in Fitzgerald's case. . . . She was a writer of genius. . . . [Lee's] research is meticulous. . . . Her conclusion is a statement of biographical honesty." --The Wall Street Journal "The life and times of that elusive, original miracle worker, the English novelist and biographer Penelope Fitzgerald, have been brilliantly captured by Lee. . . . [Fitzgerald's] fiction, when it finally emerged, had a tamped-down force and intense compression, as if the decades-long wait had worked its own clarifying, crystallizing magic." --The New York Times Book Review"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
