The writer and critic AS Byatt, who explored family, myth and narrative in a career spanning five decades, has died aged 87.
The complicated family relationships found in much of her fiction were already in evidence with this story of a daughter escaping a domineering father.
Byatt followed Frederica and her sister Stephanie up to Cambridge, into marriage, motherhood and the struggle between intellectual and family life in 1985's Still Life and Babel Tower in 1996 before concluding the series with A Whistling Woman in 2002.
