	Margaret Forster
		Margaret Forster lives in London and the Lake District with her husband, the writer and broadcaster Hunter Davies.
		Forster's non-judgemental narratives demonstrate a genuine empathy with the dilemmas faced by women and an understanding of the often unreasonable sense of duty imposed upon them, most painfully often by the women themselves.
		Margaret Forster succeeds in combining an unblinking analysis of emotion with a social historian's interest in the details of everyday life.

		At this point, the novel falters; Forster is not quite capable of juggling the glamorous settings, Wilson's frustrations (the Brownings, though generous in their affection, cannot see Wilson as other than a servant), her difficult marriage and family life.
		Forster brilliantly explores the uneasy intimacy between mistress and servant, working-class girl and educated lady of leisure to produce a compelling character study and an engrossing novel of the colorful Browning menage.
		Forster truly captures the feelings and struggles between the servant-class and the gentry of the era.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Review: Diary of an Ordinary Woman by Margaret Forster
		Impressed by Forster's famous memoir of her grandmother and mother, Hidden Lives, Millicent was now proposing that Forster edit her own diaries for posthumous publication.
		In fact, there is only one problem with Forster's wonderful find - Millicent King was not dead by the time of publication, for the brutal reason that she was never born.
		For Forster, who writes both novels and biographies, has tried her hand at something new and strange - a fictionalised memoir.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Memory Box: Books: Margaret Forster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Critically acclaimed for, amongst others, Lady's Maid and Mothers' Boys, Forster brings a keen, and unsentimental, eye to her (at times remarkably painful) topic.
		She is, also, the biographer of Daphne du Maurier, and Forster has taken on her legacy of menace and romance (think of Rebecca) in this intelligent, and compelling, novel.
		I think that only people who have lost their mothers at an early age will truly be able to understand this book, and I would like to thank Margaret Forster for helping me understand and come to terms with so many of my own emotions through reading it.

		I knew next to nothing about the subject matter of this book when my mother lent it to me (she loved it as well).
		Forster is able to completely personalize the social constrictions of Victorian society through the eyes of Wilson, Lady's Maid to the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
		This is a wonderful novel that will encase the reader's complete attention from the first page until the last.

		There is certainly a kind of satisfaction, as a reader, in getting a feel for the bleakness of that time for people in Wilson's social position, and getting to grips with the mindset of a servant.
		And I think Forster's central aim with A Lady's Maid is to describe Wilson's changing, and increasingly obsessed mindset.
		It has everything you could ask for for a book to curl up with in the evening, complex and sensitive character portrayals, a gripping plot and history so carefully mixed in it hardly seems to be there.

		Prolific English author Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) was best known for her imaginative suspense novels (especially Rebecca, 1938), although she also published biographies and plays.
		Here Forster (Elizabeth Barrett Browning) sharply analyzes du Maurier's work and, aided by access to previously unavailable papers and correspondence, illuminates her subject's character.
		In a portrait revealing of du Maurier's inner and everyday life, Forster energetically limns a personality that will surprise and engross readers.

		The Independent (London, England): BOOKS INTERVIEW: A life less ordinary; Margaret Forster worries, after 30 books, that she loves writing too much.
		I WAS more than halfway through Margaret Forster's new book when I suddenly spotted the words "a novel" on the jacket.
		Her introduction to Diary of an Ordinary Woman (Chatto, pounds 16.99) describes the events that led up to the book's publication: the letter from the niece, telling her about her aunt's historic stash, the visit to the frail woman in a cottage in the the West Country and the year-long process...

		And I admired that Forster depicted the two famous literary figures as she saw to be accurate, rather than glamorizing and glorifying them as there might be a temptation to do.
		It's been a while since I read something like Jane Austen, so it was refreshing and fascinating to dip back into a world with social codes so different from ours today.
		This book must have taken years to research, and Forster's depiction of Victorian life shows the evidence of that research.
