		Thomas Ellis - real name Anna Haycraft - wrote more than 20 books altogether, including The 27th Kingdom, which was shortlisted for the 1982 Booker Prize.

		The interlude began with a Catholic Herald column (her last, as it transpired) by the Catholic novelist, Alice Thomas Ellis, in which she expressed her hope that the delay in appointing a new archbishop for Liverpool might indicate "a repudiation" of the work of Archbishop Derek Worlock, who had died earlier this year.
		The secular press moved in on the story: Ellis, it was reported, had been sacked: not only that, but her sacking had been under pressure from the authorities, and it was part of a "civil war" going on within the Catholic Church between liberals and conservatives.
		Alice Thomas Ellis was not the late Archbishop Worlock's only critic, for all the outraged cries of "bad taste" at her criticisms.

		Alice Thomas Ellis, the novelist and columnist who died on Tuesday aged 72, wrote drily ironic and acutely perceptive domestic tales which drew on her own family life and her devout Roman Catholicism, and evoked comparisons with Muriel Spark.
		Instantly recognisable with her kohl-rimmed eyes, Alice Thomas Ellis was a prodigious worker who had to fight against many setbacks - depression, agoraphobia and personal tragedy.
		Continuing the paradox, she combined her fervent traditionalism and love of ritual (she was a regular at the sung Latin mass at St Dominic's Priory in Kentish Town) with an irreverence about the modern Church which amounted to a bitter anti-clericalism.

		She was fired from the Universe in 1994 at the insistence of a bishop, and in 1996 the Catholic Herald published a front-page apology for her earlier article criticizing the liberal policies of the archbishop of Liverpool.
		Ellis was described in the London Times as “one of the wittiest writers currently at work.” Yet her wit had a dark underside, and some reviewers noted a melancholy or pessimistic strain.
		Alice Thomas Ellis has produced a distinguised body of work that is an important contribution to the Catholic literary tradition.

		Acting Herald editor Harry Coen told the Daily Telegraph that Ellis did indeed have a few columns remaining to be printed at the time of her sudden departure, so it seems clear that her dismissal was related to the Worlock episode.

		Alice Thomas Ellis, the novelist and former Spectator columnist who died last week, once took part in an earnest feminist questionnaire that asked her to name the most important event in women's history.
		Alice - known to all her friends by her real name, Anna - bore the physical aspect of a sensitive north London novelist: her huge, panda eyes were pools of compassion, framed by wispy hair and hand-made earrings.
		When people discovered that she was a Catholic indeed, that it was the most important thing in her life - they sometimes assumed that she belonged to the Church's 'justice 'n' peace' brigade and subscribed to the TaMcV, an archly progressive Catholic magazine.

	Catholic World News : Bell-Curve Catholics
		Harry Coen, the acting editor of the paper, insists that in dismissing the columnist, he was acting on his own; he adamantly denies having received any message from Cardinal Hume--or from any other English bishop--in the wake of the column in which Alice Thomas Ellis attacked Archbishop Worlock.
		The interlude began with a Catholic Herald column (her last, as it transpired) by the Catholic novelist, Alice Thomas Ellis, in which she expressed her hope that the delay in appointing a new archbishop for Liverpool might indicate "a repudia-tion" of the work of Archbishop Derek Worlock, who had died earlier this year.
		The hypothesis of a split would suggest a distribution curve like a double-humped camel." Longley's argument depended to some extent on his insistence that the constituency Alice Thomas Ellis represented was way out on--or even beyond--the right-hand edge of the curve.

		Despite the harshness Ellis exhibits toward some of her characters, the reader develops empathy toward Rose and understands that poor Ermyn needs more emotional help than she is likely to get, but Ellis never allows the reader to get comfortable with this family's world.
