More Penelope Fitzgerald - a biography of her four brilliantly clever uncles who lived during the Victorian and Edwardian eras and both world wars. It is a lovely exploration of four very different, eccentric and funny as well as very clever men who loved words and games, and had careers in the church (fascinating insights into the various Anglican factions and changes), journalism and military intelligence. Interesting on the schools and universities of the times too.
