Ann Schlee, the American-born writer who spent most of her life in England, died last month aged 89. Praising her work in an essay in Slightly Foxed in 2004, the writer Jane Gardam declared that Schlee’s historical novels ‘are more advanced, more interested in feminism, for instance, than her contemporaries who write of the twentieth century’. Nowhere is this more evident than in Schlee’s masterpiece, Rhine Journey, which was shortlisted for the 1981 Booker Prize.
