Another month of good reading. I have already written posts about most of the books I finished reading in November. Clicking on the titles links to my posts.
Playing with the Moon by Eliza Graham – an excellent book, looking back over 60 years.
Lewis Carroll: a biography by Morton Cohen – long and detailed.
The Sidmouth Letters by Jane Gardam – good (better than I expected).
Remainder by Tom McCarthy – mixed feelings about this one, thought provoking.
Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell – a very enjoyable read, better than the TV series for me.
The Testament of Gideon Mack by James Robertson – a thought provoking book.
My Cleaner by Maggie Gee. I’ve nearly finished this about Vanessa, English, middle class and Mary, Ugandan who used to be Vanessa’s cleaner.
All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West. I’ve read the first chapters of this story of an aging British aristocrat. This is the book chosen by Karen for her new book group.
Winter In Madrid by C J Sansom. I’ve just started reading this. I chose it because I read with great enjoyment his three earlier books, Dissolution, Dark Fire and Sovereign, historical mysteries featuring Matthew Shardlake, a lwyer-cum-detective. I hadn’t realised this book was set in the 1940s when I decided to read it – yet another book from that period.

I have All Passion Spent ordered through the library. I’ve read it before and really like it. Have you seen the televised version? It was so strange because I had been thinking about this book a short while before I visited Karen’s blog and read about her new book group.

Nan, I didn’t see the televised version – I wish I had, I’m enjoying the book.

I need to start All Passion Spent–I have it on my night stand. Perhaps tonight. Strangely the last time I was at the library I saw the movie on the shelf. I didn’t check it out, though, as I like to read the book first.
