Cynthia Propper Seton

"Many critics praised Seton's work, calling her "a latter-day Jane Austen, writing a comedy of manners." Her third novel, A Fine Romance, was nominated for a National Book Award in 1976. In addition to writing, Seton lectured on literary and feminist topics and taught at the Indiana Writer's Conference."

So many fine books and authors just slip away yet they gave me such pleasure on first reading. I'm not a re-reader but I remember and treasure authors like Seton for their lasting position in show more my literary life. If I were to run a reprint publisher, she'd be one of the first. show less

Someone or something comes along and strikes a chord so that you remember a book you loved in the past. I don't remember the story so much as I recall loving the book, and being totally taken with all of her titles which I read in rapt delight.
