lt;p>"Bowen is a difficult writer who attracts complex arguments and sophisticated theorising. The great asset of this biography, however, is its readability. Laurence writes clearly and accessibly, sharing a great amount of often complex material in a way that easily engages the reader: this is a real plus, especially for those new to Bowen's work. ... Elizabeth Bowen: A Literary Life is a timely, readable book, which will create added interest in Bowen's life and work."
