The Telegraph has an obituary of Magdalen Nabb who died at the weekend. I hadn't realised that:"Thirteen years ago she suffered a serious stroke, and was not expected to survive".
Read the obituary here.
Update
Read Peter Guttridge's article on Magdalen Nabb in the Independent.
I just read the obit in the Times, which Frank Wilson links to on Books, Inq. I can't imagine how I missed it as I read the paper every day. Probably been a bit obsessed with GCSE results just at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read a Magdalen Nabb book for a good few years, but I read all her earlier ones and loved them. What sad news. I am so glad for her she had those 13 years, thanks to modern medicine one hopes.
I remember Magdalen Nabb when she taught my son at Holcombe Brook School. He played with her son, Liam every Saturday. Liam's mother had painted a wall mural of the Battle of Waterloo in Liam's bedroom. The boys played soldiers. My son was Christopher.
ReplyDeleteI read some of her novels. Unusual like Magda herself. Her death is a tragedy.
