| biography:
| Playwright and novelist, born in Limerick, Co Limerick, SW Ireland. She studied at Dublin, and began a career in London as a playwright when she was 30, publishing her prizewinning Without My Cloak in 1931. Other works include Mary Lavelle (1936), The Land of Spices (1941), and As Music and Splendour (1958). A remarkable observer of life, her novels are best understood by an appreciation of her consciousness of a lesbian sexual identity. |
