Fatal error: Call to undefined function isLitsy() in /var/www/html/inc_magicDB.php on line 425: MARGARET DRABBLE is the author of The Sea Lady, The Seven Sisters, The Peppered Moth, and The Needle's Eye, among other novels. For her contributions to contemporary English literature, she was made a Dame of the British Empire in 2008.

Drabble has famously been engaged in a long-running feud with her novelist sister, A.S. Byatt, over the alleged appropriation of a family tea-set in one of her novels. The pair seldom see each other and each does not read the books of the other.

The Pattern in the Carpet: A Personal History with… por Margaret Drabble

I wanted to like this book. It's an interesting idea: memoir, interleaved with a history of the jigsaw and related pastimes. A shared love of jigsaws drew Drabble closer to her great-aunt Phyllis.

The Dark Flood Rises: A Novel por Margaret Drabble

Just not for me. Rumination on aging, as reflected on by the primary and a number of secondary characters. I found the characters and their context simply didn't engage me in a meaningful way. Nothing particularly insightful, instructive or entertaining about the act of aging.
