Never No More (Revised) | Maura Laverty

"I have often suspected that it wasn't a love of reading that made Sam Leadbetter spend his scant shillings on that queer mixture of volumes. I feel it was more probably a love of books, a love of all that printed paper stood for: romance, tolerance, wisdom, culture... I even doubted if he had read more than half-a-dozen of the books he sacrificed so much to buy."

Last night was way too windy outside for sleep so I indulged in a fire and #booktime. Anyone else love reading by the fire? (It's the only source of heating on the ground floor of my cottage - living room & kitchen, just 2 rooms so they warm up quickly). I'm about half way through this and am enjoying the humdrum rural Irish 1920s life depicted in Maura Laverty's Never No More. #IrishBooks #Reading #WomenWriters #IrishWriters #BookLovers #Virago
