Anna Quindlen first visited England's capital from a chair in her suburban Philadelphia home—in one of her beloved childhood mystery novels. Quindlen has been back to London countless times since, through the pages of books and in actuality. Now, in
Imagined London, she takes her own readers on a tour of this greatest of literary cities.
While New York, Paris, and Dublin are also vividly portrayed in fiction, it is London, Quindlen argues, that has always been the star, both because of the primacy of English literature and the singularity of the city. With wit and charm, Imagined London gives this splendid city its full due in the landscape of the literary imagination.
