Autorenporträt

Elizabeth Jane Howard was a highly acclaimed English novelist, as well as an actress, model, and playwright. In 1951 she won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for her first novel, The Beautiful Visit. Six books followed before she wrote her best-known work, The Cazalet Chronicles, a five-part bestselling series about a multigenerational family during wartime Britain. All novels—The Light Years, Marking Time, Confusion, Casting Off, and All Change—have become modern classics and were adapted into a major BBC radio and TV series.
