Northanger Abbey | Country Girls Read
https://countrygirlsread.wordpress.com/2015/07/23/northanger-abbey
As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust. Elizabeth the Great →. July 23, 2015. Being that summer is already halfway over, and I hadn’t read any of the classics yet this year, I decided it is high time I read one! Northanger Abbey, the one Austen novel I had not yet read then, was a natural choice. Austen’s writing did not disappoint! For instance, the reader can deduct much of Mrs. Allen’s character from just the following:. 8220;Mrs. Allen was now quite happy – quite satisfied with Bath. She had ...Although th...

Jamaica Inn →. July 29, 2015. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. Elizabeth Jenkins has written several both fiction and nonfiction books, among them a biography of Jane Austen. She lived to be 105. The Guardian. Calls Jenkins a ‘biographer of exceptional quality’ and a ‘biographer of strong female characters.’. This biography of Queen Elizabeth I of England was interesting, insightful and instructive! 8220;As Mary maintained…silence for the rest of her life, the body of her sympathizers, particularly those w...

Summer Reading →. August 4, 2015. By Daphne du Maurier. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. 8220;It was a cold grey day in late November. The weather had changed overnight, when a backing wind brought a granite sky and a mizzling rain with it, and although it was now only a little after two o’clock in the afternoon the pallour of a winter evening seemed to have closed upon the hills, cloaking them in mist. It would be dark by four.”. Mary grieves over the choices her Aunt Patience has made in marriage and she is de...

A Shilling for Candles by Josephine Tey. As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust →. Young Mrs. Savage by D.E. Stevenson. July 10, 2015. Young Mrs. Savage. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. I really liked this book! Dinah is tired out but her brother Dan comes to the rescue with a month-long vacation he provides for the young family back in their childhood home in Scotland. 8220;You’ve got a plan? 8220;You must be mad! 8221; exclaimed Dinah, in amazement. I could easily run down and spend week-ends with you. Returning to...

Newer posts →. To See the Moon Again. September 23, 2016. When Carmen, Jeremiah’s daughter, shows up on Julia’s doorstep, her welcome is dubious to say the least. But the story doesn’t stop there. Carmen has her own dragons to slay and her own background is far from pleasant. Two vastly different characters, two similar childhood stories, two sets of reactions to circumstances. Although it could be said (especially by those who may object or even avoid this author altogether) that this writer may have be...

The Loving Spirit | Country Girls Read
https://countrygirlsread.wordpress.com/2015/04/27/the-loving-spirit
Saturday Reading →. April 27, 2015. By Daphne du Maurier. My rating: 3 of 5 stars. I really enjoyed the descriptions of Cornwall. However, unlike the novel “Rebecca”, whose main character almost immediately caught my sympathy (who does *not* love an underdog? I never found a character I totally engaged with. According to this (not-very-complimentary) review. One can actually still view the figurehead of the ship that is written about in “The Loving Spirit.”. Other reviewers have mentioned the borderline-...
