Are you drawn to topics in fiction? I tend to like novels in which a house is a major character. I'm also drawn to fiction written by British women during the Second World War—not historical fiction set during the war, but novels written for the home front while the outcome of the war was very much in doubt (Angela Thirkell's Cheerfulness Breaks In ends with a major character at Dunkirk and his wife unsure whether he has survived). To my great joy, I've just discovered Henrietta's War and Henrietta Makes It Through by Joyce Dennys. What's more, Dennys is a female artist new to me. Almost too good to be true!
The Henrietta books are collections of letters purportedly written by the wife of a doctor in a seaside village on the west coast of England to her childhood friend Bill, who is at the front. Each one can be considered a cleverly constructed flash fiction. They were published individually during the war, and I find I like reading two or three at a time, the way you would real letters. They also, however, add up to not-quite-a-novel, a chronicle of life among the middle-aged or older provincial gentry. As with the best of this sort of thing, Henrietta, her husband Charles, Lady B., Faith, and others come to seem like friends I really know (even if they don't know me).
As an artist, she might best be called an illustrator or caricaturist, but it's easy to see her in relation to other English artists of her time, including other women.
