Wrote about the greatest writer you may have never heard of ….
Caroline Blackwood was the author of wit-drenched books about the wages of class, women’s inhumanity to women, bitchiness, greed, abjection, family, monsters. But motherhood as original sin was her most persistent theme. https://t.co/RVHJeeo63C
