Friday Finds


I feel like I haven’t done Friday Finds in a while. Here are some that have come to my attention:

Wolf Hall, by Hilary Mantel. Actually, I heard about this a while ago, but I was offered an ARC of this book this week (historical fiction set in Tudor times that promises to be not just another bodice-ripper).

The Love Knot, by Vanessa Alexander. Again, historical fiction. I saw a review of this somewhere, and now I can’t remember where!

The Last Concubine, by Leslie Downer. Historical fiction set in 19th century Japan.

The Russian Concubine, by Kate Furnivall. Set in China in the early 20th century.

Another browse on the Persephone website yielded:
Every Eye, by Isobel English
Consequences, by EM Delafield
Little Boy Lost, by Marghanita Laski
Fidelity, by Susan Glaspell

I was offered the ARC of Wolf Hall too. It will be interesting to see how our opinions compare. It sounds very good.

I have Wolf Hall out from the library at the moment.

OF the others, I have read a couple of Furnivall's books and really liked them, and have also The Last Concubine which I wasn't all that impressed with despite the interesting setting.

I actually ordered Wolf Hall from AmazonUK when it first came out. I can't wait to see your review - some bloggers seem to be a bit put off by the size.

A giveaway winner, and another giveaway

The winner of the Girl in a Blue Dress contest is... Anna, of Diary of An Eccentric ! My new contest is for a copy of The Shape of Mercy , by Susan Meissner. According to Publisher's Weekly : Meissner's newest novel is potentially life-changing, the kind of inspirational fiction that prompts readers to call up old friends, lost loves or fallen-away family members to tell them that all is forgiven and that life is too short for holding grudges. Achingly romantic, the novel features the legacy of Mercy Hayworth—a young woman convicted during the Salem witch trials—whose words reach out from the past to forever transform the lives of two present-day women. These book lovers—Abigail Boyles, elderly, bitter and frail, and Lauren Lars Durough, wealthy, earnest and young—become unlikely friends, drawn together over the untimely death of Mercy, whose precious diary is all that remains of her too short life. And what a diary! Mercy's words not only beguile but help Abigail and Lars

Six Degrees of Barbara Pym's Novels

This year seems to be The Year of Barbara Pym; I know some of you out there are involved in some kind of a readalong in honor of the 100th year of her birth. I’ve read most of her canon, with only The Sweet Dove Died, Civil to Strangers, An Academic Question, and Crampton Hodnet left to go (sadly). Barbara Pym’s novels feature very similar casts of characters: spinsters, clergymen, retirees, clerks, and anthropologists, with which she had direct experience. So it stands to reason that there would be overlaps in characters between the novels. You can trace that though the publication history of her books and therefore see how Pym onionizes her stories and characters. She adds layers onto layers, adding more details as her books progress. Some Tame Gazelle (1950): Archdeacon Hoccleve makes his first appearance. Excellent Women (1952): Archdeacon Hoccleve gives a sermon that is almost incomprehensible to Mildred Lathbury; Everard Bone understands it, however, and laughs
