I remember greatly enjoying Howard's early, witty novels, the pre-Cazelet ones. I can't remember them well, but the titles still resonate.
Odd Girl Out. Mr. Wrong. I would love an excuse to revisit with
Getting It Right.
When I was looking up the titles just now, I came across an interesting article in the
Guardian:
Elizabeth Jane Howard: Hilary Mantel on the novelist she tells everyone to read. It's longish but worth a skim.
