A classic tale of fantasy and self-delusion from one of the most acclaimed British novelists of the twentieth centuryWriting stories that are extravagant and fanciful, fifteen-year old Angel retreats to a world of romance, escaping the drabness of provincial life. She knows she is different, that she is destined to become a feted authoress, owner of great riches and of Paradise House . . .After reading The Lady Irania, publishers Brace and Gilchrist are certain the novel will be a success, in spite of — perhaps because of — its overblown style. But they are curious as to who could have written such a book — an elderly lady, romanticising behind lace curtains? A mustachioed rogue?They were not expecting it to be the pale, serious teenage girl, sitting before them without a hint of irony in her soul.
