Good Housekeeping's view...
March 2010 Good Housekeeping selection.
On My Bookshelf by Joanna Trollope...
One of the first people to seize my literary attention was historian and novelist Sylvia Townsend Warner. It wasn’t her novels for me, so much as her letters (Letters, Chatto & Windus, 1982).

The Element of Lavishness: The Letters of Sylvia Townsend Warner by William Maxwell, Sylvia Townsend Warner
