Amy Witting is comparable to Jean Rhys, but she has more starch, or vinegar. The effect is bracing.--The New Yorker
A best-selling portrait of the artist as a troubled young woman.
Isobel's imaginary friends include the Virgin Mary and Sherlock Holmes, Lord Byron, W.H. Auden, and T.S. Eliot. She's less at ease with the flesh-and-blood people she meets, and least of all with herself. But a lucky encounter and a little detective work reveal her true destiny. An autobiographical classic from one of Australia's literary treasures.
Amy Witting (1918-2001) wrote novels, stories, and verse which often appeared in the New Yorker.
