Penelope Fitzgerald Knihy

Spisovatel Sebastian Faulks jednou prohlásil, že „číst román od Penelope Fitzgeraldové je jako vyjet si na výlet v osobitém autě. Všechno ve voze je špičkové kvality – motor, karosérie i interiér vás naplňují důvěrou. Pak zhruba po jednom kilometru někdo vyhodí z okna volant“. Román „Na vodě“ líčí život hausbótové kolonie na Temži, propletené osudy lidiček, kteří tak úplně nepatří ani na souš, ani na moře – upjatého Richarda, Nenny a jejích dvou dětí i Willise, který se v pětašedesáti letech snaží prodat svou bárku dřív, než se potopí. Tato úsporná, ironická próza autorce po zásluze vynesla nejprestižnější britskou literární cenu, Booker Prize. Britská bohéma na hausbótech! Román oceněný Bookerovou cenou.
