⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another delightful Furrowed Middlebrow read. 😊 Mrs. Lorimer‘s summer is not quite as quiet as she would like, having to deal with the relationship shenanigans of her grown-up children. Luckily, she has her best friend, Gray Douglas, to lean on.
Clavering and D.E. Stevenson were apparently good friends, and this novel is supposedly based, in part, on this friendship.

Cathythoughts Sounds lovely 🥰 2y
LeahBergen I‘m looking forward to this one! 👏 2y
CarolynM Another one for the Furrowed Middlebrow order😬😆 2y
elkeOriginal Yes! It is amusing to think it is mirroring their real life friendship 🥰 2y
MrsK Can‘t believe I‘ve never read Clavering since I‘m a huge Stevenson fan. Thanks for sharing 👏🏻 2y

@LeahBergen Have you read Molly Clavering?
She was friend and neighbor of DE Stevenson and several of her novels recently came out from #FurrowedMiddleBrow #DeanStreetPress too.

This one is supposedly a thinly veiled portrayal of their friendship. I enjoyed imagining it WAS them!
(The tagged book is the same as the one in my photo)

Leftcoastzen Very cool! 2y
LeahBergen What a great edition! I have this one (under the other title) but haven‘t got to it yet. I ONLY got it this past summer. 🤣 2y
LeahBergen Oh, and I have a couple of the Furrowed Middlebrow editions of her books. One was a Twitter prize and I bought the other that was a sequel to it. 😊 2y
elkeOriginal @LeahBergen I look forward to Molly‘s books popping up in #furrowedmiddlebrowclub 😉 2y
