Bernadette Brennan and Joyce Morgan wrote their excellent biographies in the hope their readers would become readers of their subjects. Bernadette’s Leaping Through Waterfalls: The Enigmatic Gillian Mears documents Mears’s rich, blazing life, revealing a writer of astonishing gifts and great fearlessness. Joyce’s The Countess from Kirribilli is the remarkable story of Elizabeth von Arnim, born Mary Beauchamp in Kirribilli, a prolific writer who became the toast of London, a literary sensation compared to Jane Austen. Both deserve celebration.
