![]() ![]() The Blue Flower I believe is considered by many to be her most accomplished novel. Her Booker winning novel Offshore which I read last year I loved – and it remains my favourite Fitzgerald to date. I remember enjoying The Bookshop, The Golden Child I found odd but loved, The Gate of Angels – was enjoyable but also rather odd, Innocence I think I enjoyed but wasn’t certain I totally “got it” I had in fact forgotten all about that novel, until I came to think about my review of The Blue Flower and glanced through the list of Fitzgerald’s other books. ![]() Previously I have read five of Fitzgerald’s novels – finding them very readable and quite fascinating, yet difficult to fully get a handle on. ![]() Her novels have been received to huge acclaim, being nominated for and then winning The Booker prize, later winning the National Book Critics Circle award for this novel. Penelope Fitzgerald only began her very successful writing career when in her late 50’s. The Blue Flower was the last novel of author Penelope Fitzgerald who died in 2000 aged 83. ![]()

In Jack the Giant Killer, Jacky, in the throes of breaking up with her boyfriend and wondering what’s becoming of her life, witnesses (while somewhat more than three sheets to the wind) the murder of a hob by the Wild Hunt (what Jacky actually sees is a small, perhaps elderly man and a group of bikers).
