This Real Night | Rebecca West
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
In the second installment of Rebecca West’s Saga of the Century trilogy, Rose Aubrey, her sisters, and her cousin stand on the brink of adulthood and a new era for women They have put down their schoolbooks and put up their hair, but a talented musician and her kin ponder what being a young woman on one’s own will entail. Abandoned by their feckless father, Rose and her family must move beyond their comfortable drawing room to discover a world of kind patrons, music teachers, and concert hall acclaim, but also domestic strife, anti-Semitism, and social pressure to marry. Set before World War I, Rebecca West’s intimate, eloquent family portrait brings to life a time when women recognized their own voices and the joys of living off one’s own talents.

Today on antique row, I scored a free book and was given a complimentary pass to the Rocky Mountain Book and Paper Fair.
And a homeless man sort of harassed me to say "Pain is Good."
So overall, a successful outing. ?

Jinjer A book and paper fair!!!!! 7y
Leftcoastzen One of my favorite dealers does that show. Ken Sanders Rare Books out of Salt Lake. 7y

"There was therefore a very simple reason why we had no flowers in our garden: we had no money to pay for them. But the poor hate to admit that they are slaves to their poverty, and invent mystical explanations for their lack of freedom. So we said to ourselves that it was a queer thing, flowers would not grow in our garden."

MrBook Nice quote! 8y
SaintUrsula @MrBook thanks! I could pull out so many from this book, both profound and funny. 8y

"The day was so delightful that I wished one could live slowly as one can play music slowly."
