AWW22 In Case You Missed Them - Bernadette Brennan and Joyce Morgan

Chaired by Caroline Baum.


Bernadette Brennan and Joyce Morgan wrote their excellent
biographies in the hope their readers would become readers of
their subjects. Bernadette’s Leaping Through Waterfalls: The
Enigmatic Gillian Mears documents Mears’s rich, blazing life,
revealing a writer of astonishing gifts and great fearlessness.
Joyce’s The Countess from Kirribilli is the remarkable story of
Elizabeth von Arnim, born Mary Beauchamp in Kirribilli, a
prolific writer who became the toast of London, a literary
sensation compared to Jane Austen. Both deserve celebration.
