Thanks for posting that. I had been wondering recently whatever happened to her. I always read her column in National Review and read her books, too. May she rest in peace, and may she have found her Savior.

I used to read NR back when it was good. Her columns were always brilliant!

I’m much more affected by this than I expected to be: I started reading her at 20, and for a while I had every book she wrote. She influenced me profoundly. She was like a literary fairy godmother who sent me on quests with her writing. I rank her with Jane Austen in terms of “people I’ve spent the most time reading.”

Very sad news.
A pure delight to read.
They don’t make them like Florence King anymore.
