I'm currently reading The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. With a title like that, it sounds like a zombie novel or something out of Doctor Who, but it is in fact a Pulitzer winning fictionalised narrative of the Battle of Gettysburg. Both fascinating and gripping, it is currently definitely living up to its prize-winning status! I'm really tempted to reread Battle Cry for Freedom after this, or finally tackle Shelby Foote. A part of history that, even though I did some American history at school, is still rather a blank to this British educated student! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that I will I spent the majority of today reading The Sanotorium, by Sarah Pearse. It does have faults but overall I just can't put it down!

Marie H Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 70% read Elizabeth Fair’s The Mingham Air. Gentle humour of English 50s love and provincial snobby, and cleverly done. I’m sad that this was Elizabeth Fair’s last novel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Though I still have many books of the same genre to read, in the Dead Street Press/Furrowed Middlebrow library Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracy18 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I am re-reading this comfort book of sorts for me- Twilight in the Land of Nowhen. Also Flowers for Algernon I cannot believe it took me so long to reach this book. There is an understated sense of melancholy that Keyes works with. Also i am a huge epistolary novel and that combined with sci fi- i am trying to read it slow enough so it doesnt get over too soon, If anyone knows more epistolary sci fi stuff, please tell?
