This writer is recommended by Genevieve Tucker. Tucker hopes that Witting's I for Isobel is not autobiographical, given the abuse the title character suffers. "Witting casts a cold but measured eye on meanness, on spite and the desperate nastiness of lower middle class people with small pretensions, yet her work is not as depressing as that might sound." Tucker also recommends the late Australian writer's sequel to this award-winning book, Isobel On the Way to the Corner Shop.
