Penelope Fitzgerald, one of the most quietly brilliant novelists of the twentieth century, was a great English writer whose career didn t begin until she was nearly sixty.Her life was marked by dramatic twists of fate, moving from a bishop s palace to a sinking houseboat to a last, late blaze of renown.
