Muriel Spark
“There were legions of her kind during the nineteen-thirties, women from the age of thirty and upward, who crowded into their war-bereaved spinsterhood with voyages of discovery into new ideas and energetic practices in art and social welfare, education or religion.”
Muriel Spark, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

“The fat woman came and offered us Turkish cigarettes and little red cubes of sweet stuff that smelled like soap and tasted like hell”
Cameron McCabe, The Face on the Cutting-Room Floor
