My wife. Just read At the Bay and was moved to tears. The first episode contains a description of life (human, animal, vegetal) that is a masterpiece; the whole story is somehow a plain description of everyday life while maintaining a pure metaphysical quality. The episode with the children playing as animals was perfect and surreal. She somehow managed to display life as a whole in a few pages. Very clearly a genius. She was gone too soon and I wish I could go back in time and save her.Katherine Mansfield thread? Also, post female authors you fell in love with. I always fall in love when I read good female writers.
