What a bright and talented writer! She has been underrated. Let's hope that will soon change.
What a marvelous woman. In 2015, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits released a spectacular song in her honor called “Beryl”. The song touches on how underrated Beryl was during her lifetime.
“Beryl
Was on another level
When she got her Booker Medal
She was dead in her grave
After all she gave
After all she gave”
Give it a spin. It’s a great homage to the late, great Ms. Bainbridge.
Beryl was a treasure. Underrated in the extreme.
What a beautiful room!
What a character. Absolutely fascinating.
Wonderful
Much missed.Lovely eclectic house too.
A darling of Englishness.
Injury Time is a wonder - read it
One of those things that decades pass, and then you suddenly find out, there’s a connection to grange Hill whilst knowing both things simultaneously and not knowing any connection all that time
I'm so surprised to hear her voice, for some reason I thought she had a northern accent 😆
a northern accent??
She’s from Liverpool right ?

Yeah, I couldn't remember where exactly she was from but she sounds very RP in this

I just checked on wiki.
Yes, that's right
Age 45 here then
Somehow I never believed the things Bainbridge said in interviews (TV or print). She seems like a devised character. Her accent was adopted and you hear it lapse at times. All that stuff about not really liking your own children is like something drawn from a Trollope novel or her making it up on the spot. Her books were excellent, but as a person she seemed to me superficial.
She's a woman?
Are you surprised?
