I recently finished reading A Wreath for the Enemy by Pamela Frankau. The title jumped out at me in the bookshop, and I picked it up not knowing what to expect. I was mesmerised from start to finish. I looked up Frankau online, and she had an incredible life. I was puzzled that I had never encountered any of her books before, as she wrote prolifically…and then I saw that most of them are out of print. So I went on a quest to a shop specialising in rare and antiquarian books. They didn’t have any in stock, but they told me I’d find a couple of titles online, and gave me the address of a members’ library in Nottingham that has a complete collection. I’ve applied to join for the sake of getting my hands on the rest, even if it does mean a four-hour return trip. I’m curious to hear about other people’s best late and accidental discoveries. Which author do you wish you’d read sooner, and why?
