Pritchard, Melissa

Pritchard will make you cry, think, and laugh; each essay is filled with wit and wisdom from writers old and new, informing Pritchard's own careful observations. A great read for writers, readers looking for enlightenment, and those who savor nonfiction that explores the spiritual through the everyday.

While there is undoubtedly a fascinating story to be told about Vernon Lee's life and work, Pritchard accomplishes a rather artless historical novel about writing a historical novel that doesn't live up to the promise of its premise.
