2015: The Year of Reading Women discussion

Sybille Bedford -- a female author worthy of consideration here. Her A Favourite of the Gods was an enjoyable read of mine a number of years ago.

Probably better known are her:

Aldous Huxley: A Biography

Jigsaw: An Unsentimental Education

A Legacy

"She considered herself a survivor of the tragic century she had lived through, often meditating on how chance or a chain of circumstances decide the fate of an individual. But her appetite for life and for the sensual pleasures of life never left her. As she used to say, she would have written more, had she loved less. She had a rich emotional life and a great talent for friendship."
