I don't think she ever stopped writing during that 15-year period. Several of the earlier books were published after her career rebounded or posthumously.

I just made a count and realized I still have three or four to read. Oh joy, oh rapture!

I also recently enjoyed Muriel Spark's Girls of Slender Means and A Far Cry from Kensington. She's a bit wilder than Pym, though not funnier.

I've never read Penelope Fitzgerald. Any thoughts on her?
