Olivia Manning: A Life - Hardcover
Olivia Manning's personality was as idiosyncratic her novels. Her husband, Reggie Smith, was equally a "character"—a BBC producer, self-proclaimed communist, and life-long philanderer. Both indulged in affairs, but their unusual marriage was sustained by his lifelong support for his wife's gifts. They became the center of London literary life, numbering among their close friends Iris Murdoch, Muriel Spark, Stevie Smith, Ivy Compton-Burnett, Anthony Burgess, and Laurence Durrell.

About the Author:
Neville Braybrooke (man of letters) and June Braybrooke (who write novels under the name Isobel English) both died before this book about their friend was completed. It has been polished, edited and prepared for press by novelist and critic Francis King, with help from Neville's daughter and June's stepdaughter, Victoria Orr-Ewing.
