Only Happiness Here: In Search of Elizabeth Von Arnim - Gabrielle Carey - Bog

Gabrielle Carey narrates a journey through the life and work of one of last century's most successful--and almost forgotten--women novelists, Elizabeth von Arnim. She was ahead of her time in her understanding of women and their often thwarted pursuit of happiness. Born in Sydney in the mid-1800s, she wrote many internationally bestselling novels, married a Prussian count and then an English lord, developed close friendships with H.G. Wells and E.M. Forster, and raised five children. Intrigued by von Arnim's extraordinary life, Gabrielle Carey sets off on a literary and philosophical journey to learn about this bold and witty author.
