chesilbeach Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've been thinking about this, as I was sure I read it recently, and I think it might be one I skimmed through as I'd already read it but was a book group choice - is it The Novel In The Viola?

chesilbeach Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ok, here's the next one ... Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, in a third-class carriage with five other travellers in it, leaned her head back and shut her eyes. How hot it was travelling by train today! It would be nice to get to the sea! Really a great piece of luck getting this job. When you wanted a holiday post it nearly always meant looking after a swarm of children - secretarial holiday posts were much more difficult to get. Even the agency hadn't held out much hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Ohhh, ohhh.... I'm pretty sure I have read this one, and am sort-of sure the author... But I only read it from library, and I can't remember the title Is it written by Dodie Smith?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesilbeach Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I chose it because I knew quite a few people here had read it, so thought it might be a bit easier to guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vimes Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I had just read a about this book a day or two ago and this quote was mentioned luck was with me as my brain actually remembered the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimes Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Here's the quote: "If you know anything about temples you will realize they have a single imposing entrance at the front. If you know anything about priests, you will have noticed they usually have a discreet little door for themselves somewhere at the back. The priests of Saturn did not disappoint us."

Athena Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It sounds interesting, but I don't think I've heard of it. That said, I have read The Fault in Our Stars last year and didn't recognise the quote so maybe it doesn't mean anything that I don't recognise it.

Vimes Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 It is more of mystery genre and here's an added clue... its set in ancient Rome so you can add historical fiction to the list It looks like it is just you and me at the moment lol!
