Elizabeth Jenkins

Elizabeth Jenkins nació en 1905 en Hitchin (Hertfordshire); su padre fundó la Cardicott School, cerca de Londres, aún hoy en funcionamiento. Estudió en Cambridge y fue profesora en la King Alfred School de Hamsptead. Se relacionó con el Grupo de Bloomsbury, aunque parece que no se llevaba muy bien con Virginia Woolf. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial tuvo un papel muy activo ayudando a refugiados judíos y a víctimas de los bombardeos de Londres. Fue una de las fundadoras de la Jane Austen Society. Escribió biografías de Jane Austen, lady Caroline Lamb, Henry Fielding e Isabel I de Inglaterra, entre otras. Su primera novela fue Virginia Water (1929); la segunda, Harriet (RARA AVIS núm. 12), recibió en 1934 el premio Femina Vie Heureuse (imponiéndose a Evelyn Waugh y Un puñado de polvo) y fue un gran éxito de ventas. Otras novelas suyas son Robert and Helen (1944), The Tortoise and the Hare (1954), Brightness (1964) y La historia del doctor Gully (1972). Cuando murió en Londres en 2010, a la edad de ciento cuatro años, el obituario de The Telegraph dijo: «El talento especial de Elizabeth Jenkins en sus novelas fue la descripción de la victi-mización de frágiles personajes que inspiran simpatía, a manos de gente que lo único que tiene de memorable es su crueldad. Como a Agatha Christie, le fascinaban los crímenes en las zonas residenciales».
