Loving | 
pickA modern take on the Victorian wealthy estate novel. This focuses on the servants, is written almost exclusively in dialogue, and has quite a lot of sexual tension. Took me a while to get into the style of writing, but in the end I thought it was brilliant. #nyrb #1001books
so-soThe book is about the servants of Mrs. Tennant in Ireland. It was a soap opera of gossiping, back stabbing, etc. Then there is the whole complexity of servant vs owner and Irish vs English. I wasn't sure how to feel about the characters, I didn't really connect with any of them. I thought the story came full circle. The ending sentence was a little fairy tale like. I think the ending was commentary on the servants point of view. #1001books
The #anglophileapril version of a #harddaysnight is best exemplified through the servants of an aristocratic British family, am I right?! This 1940‘s English novel focuses on the servants who are living their lives in contrast to the war... dealing with scandal within their own household and finding love amongst one another.

OK, boys and girls, I think I might finally have found a book with a verb in its title that I can sink my teeth into… Here I go! (And the e-book is only five bucks on iBooks!)
Taking a break from Scandinavian crime thrillers to get started on this month's book club selection for the library where I work. It's looking like a perfect read for a soggy PNW morning.
