Her life and her literature both have been pared down to essentials. She has enormous wisdom and the ironic wit of having both seen through and seen out an era. Now she lives in a seaside cottage with a half door and a daily help. Molly was born into a vanishing world of nannies and maids and gardeners and dressing for dinner every day. Like Mummie in Good Behaviour, ‘she had us and she longed to forget the horror of it for once and for all’ (13). The century was four years old when Molly Keane was born in County Kildare in Ireland in a Georgian manor on 300 acres to a father who was a gentleman farmer - which meant he passed his days in energetic sporting recreations - and a mother who was celebrated as the Poet of the Seven Glens, and wrote unswervingly sentimental verse about a loyal and humble Irish peasantry with whom her contact was purely inspirational.
