Cazalet author, Elizabeth Jane Howard has died.

Pretty good age though.

Sad news, but a good age, as you say Phoenix. I was glad to hear that her later years brought reconciliation with her daughter. On a selfish note, I am very grateful that she updated us on the Cazalets, before she went!
I would love to see the television production of Something in Disguise again, but it seems to be unavailable on DVD.
RIP EJH. A fine and often under-rated writer.

Yes a very good age. I'm pretty sure I'd read somewhere EJH was planning, even writing another book after the final Cazalet. Maybe it will be published sometime. I agree it's wonderful we have the final book.

Yes it is sad. Her writing was good.I enjoyed her last Cazalet book and like you penguinpaperback, I thought that I had heard about a 6th Cazalet book.

I'm reading the final Cazalet novel, All Change. I am ploughing through it and can't wait to get to the end because I have fallen out of love with the characters - that's if I ever really was in love with any of them. There's a finality about the book, a tying up of ends. I suppose I never felt much sympathy with that very closed social circle.

I have yet to read The Cazalet series, hoping for a Kindle deal! I think it's going to be read on radio 4 as well? I seem to remember E J Howard was married to Kingsley Amis, or is this somebody else entirely?

One and the same, roses. I've read them all in the past year and just finished the last one which came out around the time she died. I'll say no more - not into spoilers!

Oh, well maybe I won't like them anno but I will give them a try.I did like Kingsley Amis books though [I'm sure he was a difficult and not entirely nice person to live with] but an excellent author.I re-read The Old Devils last year, and also I Like It Here, and enjoyed them just as much as I did years ago, in fact the last one had me laughing fit to burst at times.

Don't let me put you off, roses. You may have the opposite opinion. Most people do.
