Family Roundabout
Family Roundabout | Richmal Crompton
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Set in the year 1948, this novel is about the life of two families during the inter-war years. Instead of seeing William at odds with adults, we are shown the matriarchs around whom their families spin; but whether they direct their children gently or forcefully, in the end they have to accept them as they are.

Bookbuyingaddict Oohh again two great choices and I‘d be happy with either but think 🤔 il vote for Family Roundabout 👍😀 1w
elkeOriginal @LeahBergen @CarolynM Looks like this one needs a tie-breaker to decide it! 4d
LeahBergen @elkeOriginal @CarolynM I think we‘ll wait a little longer (until @Gissy responds) and then in the event of a tie we‘ll let the original poster break the tie. Is that okay? 4d
elkeOriginal Sounds good! I forgot how ties are dealt with. So many close races! 4d

My ‘currently reading‘ stack.

I‘ve hit upon a good combination here: a biography, a Persephone, and some vintage children‘s lit. 😊
