  1. 1. Electric Spark

    The Enigma of Dame Muriel

    Frances Wilson’s Electric Spark is a vivid, concise investigation of Muriel Spark’s formative years and the mysteries behind her fiction. Tracing episodes of divorce, poverty, espionage, scandal and a dramatic religious conversion in the 1940s–50s, Wilson shows how these experiences were transformed into the wry, puzzle-like novels for which Spark is known.
