A ground-breaking biography of a cult British novelist.
The extraordinary twentieth-century writer Barbara Comyns led a life as captivating as the narratives she spun. This pioneering biography reveals the journey of a woman who experienced hardship and single-motherhood before the age of thirty but went on to publish a sequence of novels unique in the English language.
Comyns turned her hand to many jobs in order to survive, from artist’s model to piano restorer. Unpublished letters reveal an occasionally desperate but resourceful and witty woman whose life ranged from enduring poverty when young to mixing with spivs, spies and high society. While working as a housekeeper in her mid-thirties, Comyns began transforming the bleak episodes of her life into compelling fictions streaked with surrealism and deadpan humour.
The Vet’s Daughter (1959), championed by Graham Greene, brought her fame, although her use of the gothic and macabre divided readers and reviewers. This biography excavates Comyns’s life and reclaims her fiction, providing a timely reassessment of her literary contribution. It sheds new light on a remarkable author who deftly captured the complexities of human life.

Comfortable at first, but didn’t hold up long-term
Size: 8, Color: Tan
The size felt true and the feel was comfortable right out of the box. I liked the softness of the footbed, and the wearability was good for everyday errands and casual outings at first.
Unfortunately, after about six months of regular use, they started falling apart. While the versatility was nice and the thickness felt fine for warm weather, the overall durability just wasn’t there. They’re okay for short-term use, but I wouldn’t expect them to last long.

Great quality
Size: 10, Color: Tan
Great quality leather sandals I bought to replace a worn out pair. They are comfortable and not stiff. Hoping the rubber sole lasts a long time. They look nice with jeans, shorts or casual dresses.

Luv Luv Luv my new sandals
Size: 9, Color: Tan
They are so cute. At first the thong part that goes between ur toes was stiff. However by the end of the evening they fit just fine. Size was perfect. Look as I said was really good. For the price it was an excellent buy.

Sturdy cute shoes

Great sturdy shoes. He wears these daily and they hold up well. The Pokémon design is his favorite. Fit perfectly and are very comfortable for a very picky kid.
