Shirley Hazzard dies

[kelber at mindspring.com]

Requiescat in pace, Shirley. I read Transit of Venus years back, and was underwhelmed. My mother was a big fan - I think she actually knew her via her international feminist activities. I still have a mental image of Bay of Noon on my mother's bookshelf. Do you recommend Great Fire over that one?

>Shirley Hazzard,  the Australian-American author,  has died.   Sad - if you haven’t read anything by her I recommend Transit of Venus (1980) or The Great Fire (2003)  - both super award-winners. Her earlier  Bay of Noon was short-listed for the Booker Prize in 1970 .
