Felicity Bryan was best known as one of Britain’s leading literary agents. She packed an extraordinary life with adventure, her many passions – literature, journalism, ballet and opera, art and gardening – and her deep friendships across the world.
In the summer of 2019, she was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. True to character, she set about using her time well. Among her many activities during her final year, she wrote this memoir, which covers the period from when she left school in the early sixties to her marriage in 1981.
Felicity Bryan, MBE (1945-2020) was a journalist on The FT and The Economist before joining Curtis Brown where she became a director. In 1988 she founded her own literary agency – Felicity Bryan Associates – in Oxford. Over the next three decades it would grow exponentially to become the largest and most successful outside London. Among her global successes have been Karen Armstrong's A History of God, Rosamunde Pilcher's The Shell Seekers, Edmund de Waal's The Hare with Amber Eyes, Iain Pears' An Instance of the Fingerpost, Diarmaid MacCulloch's A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years, and Mary Berry's many wonderful books.
