Penelope Fitzgerald è stata una romanziera, poetessa, saggista e biografa inglese, celebrata per la sua acuta intuizione sulla natura umana e la sua magistrale narrazione. Con un occhio impeccabile per i dettagli e un'arguzia secca, ha catturato le complessità della vita quotidiana e le passioni nascoste dei suoi personaggi. La sua prosa, spesso basata su eventi e individui reali, risuona con verità senza tempo ed eleganza letteraria. Fitzgerald ha lasciato un segno duraturo nella letteratura britannica come narratrice che ha potuto dare vita alla storia e alle vite umane con una sensibilità unica.
