After a couple of quarters of light reading, I somehow managed to have nine books in my “What I’ve been reading for July through September.” It didn’t mean my slump was over, but I do have a few good books to talk about! (Also read and reviewed Storm Echo and ... more >

Recommended Read

I first became aware of Elizabeth Gaskell through television adaptions of her works Cranford and North and South; I then went on to read and enjoy those books. Sylvia’s Lovers is, by my count, the sixth Gaskell book I have read (I think I only have two left after this, ... more >

REVIEW: Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell

JennieA- Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended Readsclassic fiction / Romance / slice of village life4 Comments

Recommended Read
