How did she do it? (2008) (theguardian.com)

I feel Julian doesn't give Offshore the credit it deserves - a wonderful short novel.

Thanks for this lead!

I absolutely loved Fitzgerald's book The Knox Brothers. It's a touching biography of her father and uncles: a classics scholar/WWII codebreaker, an Anglican priest, a Catholic priest, and the editor of Punch magazine, all gifted, eccentric to one degree or another, and possessed of a deep seated dry humor. Can't recommend it enough to those interested in that sort of thing.
