Lilian's Story

Kate Grenville

On .... SteeL

Grenville is an Aussie writer - this is one of her best... here's a little from the blurb:
"Lilian strides through her life reciting Shakespeare for a shilling, using reluctant taxi drivers as her private charioteers, falling in love with 'Lord Kitchener'. Magnificently self-confident, she can say at the end: 'I am ready for whatever comes next.'

This was a groundbreaking book when it came out in 1984, defining the cyberpunk movement. I recently, at a book signing for a more recent book, got Gibson to autograph my battered old paperback.

Do you recomend "Roll, Jordan, Roll"?

I don't know JoanK. I haven't read it. This is pretty much the only info about the subject matter I can find. The book was originally published for the Double Day Crime Club. Kirkus Reviews has a very skimpy synopsis.
http://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/dorothy-park-clark-2/roll-jordan-roll/#review

I am having trouble finding any info about her at all. I did find a bio about her in The Encyclopedia of Louisville which is in Google Books. Here is the link in case you want to try to read the tiny print. http://books.google.com/books?id=pXbYITw4ZesC&pg=PA601&lpg=PA601&dq=Dorothy+Park+Clark&source=bl&ots=byxarTJf_g&sig=Ik_37PSa2iSC3e2NVmy766BWUAk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=31f-TpiDNaHb0QGu_42EAg&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Dorothy%20Park%20Clark&f=false

From what it says, her novels were pretty popular in their day and fairly accurate regarding their time period and settings. She also wrote several non-fiction books. All of the books are out of print as best I can tell. I am not sure how many were written under the pseudonym, Clark McKeekin. Isabelle McKeekin and Clark co-wrote a number of these books together. I found even less information nor any books listed, new or old, under that pseudonym.

Lots of luck finding the book if you are interested. Open Library lists librarys that have the book, and I see a few used listed on various used book sites, but it seems to be rather scarce.
