Biography of the Author Mollie Panter-Downe's (1906-1997) first book was published when she was just seventeen and her remarkable post-war novel One Fine Day is considered a modern classic. She is also known for her biweekly London Letters, which appeared in The New Yorker from 1938 to 1980, providing American readers with a warm and detailed 'voice' of everyday life in England and its capital. Review Quote "Mollie Panter-Downes is as profound as Katherine Mansfield, reticent as Jane Austen, perceptive as Dorothy Parker." --Independent excerpt from One Fine Day from the book New York. Autumn 1930. As I look back on the experience that should have brought me four years, I sometimes wonder if I would have made the hasty decision to marry Simon Quinn if I had met him today. There are times when I say to myself, "There is no hope! Freedom and work are the only things that matter. My god, haven't you taught anything in four years, you idiot?” But in the back of my mind, I'm sure I'd still marry Simon if it happened all over again. I could scream and scream; I could flee Southampton on a speedboat for six weeks. Running alone would bring me back to the inevitable fact, like one of those dreams where you leave a room in a mad, unspeakable panic, only to find yourself right back where you started. London four years ago, more than four years ago actually, because it was at the end of a hot week in July. Here they are laughing at English summers, but this week he was looking quite angry, slowly building up and throbbing in a red-hot head. Late in the afternoon I would go to the park and sit limp in the grass by the switchback; the trees on the other side looked unreal and slightly distorted, like a pane of warm glass stretched between them and me. Even the sidewalks seemed to be sweating. At night people could be seen walking arm in arm, their faces pale and relaxed, reminiscent of the kind of starry flowers that only open in the cool of the afternoon. It was the weekend of the Eton vs Harrow game. The streets were full of little children behind piles of corn hay; the carriages were tied with pale blue ribbons, like carriage horses at a fair. I was on the dance floor with Roddy Talent on Friday and I walked around looking at the other women's dresses until a nice pair of Hanan shoes turned gray with dust and hurt like hell. It was all very stupid, utterly pointless, very charming, unmistakably British. I remembered Soames Forsyte going to Lord's and seeing Irene there in a dove colored dress. I was very encouraged by the idea; Galsworthy was my god then. I don't think I've seen more than a few overs. On Saturday he was due to spend a short weekend with the Fentons at Burnham Beeches. The idea of ​​escaping the smell of hot pavements and hot people was pretty cool; Still, I was in a bad mood. Woman. Proutie, my maid, didn't show up to make me breakfast this morning. She lived in a small apartment with bright yellow walls and a geyser as vivacious as a prima donna. Proutie made my breakfast; So I'd settle down and work until I was hungry, then I'd dig up some cookies and get on with my work, or run around the corner for a quick bite. The same little restaurant provided me with dinner unless a man took me out to dinner. Simple enough, see if it worked. Unfortunately, like Geyser, Proutie was temperamental. I couldn't trust her but she was always in a good mood and as far as I could tell she didn't steal the gin. That morning he had made coffee and sliced ​​a grapefruit for me, a bit grumpy. The geyser's explosion nearly threw me out of the bathroom and smashed two mugs on the vanity in the kitchen next door. It was already hot. I grabbed my suitcase and started packing, my rather irritated mind preoccupied with a story that had been bugging me all week. It refused to glow or come to life; Although I was usually the warmest admirer of my own work, something seemed to say to me: "This is a waste of time, burn it!" Skin food, a yellow cr Seller's Description From the collections of the British Library, these previously out of print titles are reissued and put into context by authors who were popular in their day.
