Constable, London, first edition, 1992. Cloth, 8vo,. 352 pp. The second volume of Antonia White's much acclaimed diaries take her from the threshold of her 60s to her death at 81. In them she records the heroic daily struggles with writer's block which prevented her writing anything new, though she wrestled with a novel, a book about her visit to America, and her autobiography. However, during these years she produced a host of superb translations from the French, ranging from Colette to Voltaire, and also the voluminous entries in these absorbing and revealing diaries — 'describing myself to myself'. In her 70s, to her amazement and delight, she was rediscovered as a novelist with the republication, by Virago, first of Frost in May and then of The Lost Traveller, The Sugar House and Beyond the Glass. The period covered by these diaries also saw the successful publication of her letters to Peter Thorp about her return to the Catholic church under the title The Hound and the Falcon. Her profound and tender love for the daughters she had resented in their childhood is a touching preoccupation of her latter years, and she writes of her battles against the old demons of depression and lack of money, and the new demons of old age, with admirable courage and humour. 'Susan Chitty has had to publish in the teeth of fierce opposition but the decision is amply vindicated by the finished product. White's admirers will find [the diaries] an essential adjunct to the oeuvre,' David Robson, Sunday Telegraph." - from the blurb. Very Good in dustwrapper.
