Miss Ranskill Comes Home
Miss Ranskill Comes Home | Barbara Euphan Todd
4 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
Tells the tale of a woman who goes on a cruise and is swept overboard. She lives for three years on a desert island before being rescued by a destroyer in 1943. When she returns to England it seems to her to have gone mad: she cannot buy clothes without 'coupons', and she is considered uncivilised if she walks barefoot or is late for meals.

Mehso-so

I don‘t think I ever rated a #Persephone a so-so before, but this one just brought a bit too little.

It‘s a sweet enough story (a spinster falls overboard a cruise ship, strands on a desert island, is saved four years later and returns to England in the midst of WWII) but it just fell a bit flat.

squirrelbrain That‘s a shame! It‘s not often that a Persephone falls a bit flat. 1y

#WeeklyForecast 20/23

I am having the tagged book in progress and am enjoying it. I also hope to finish the #InternationalBooker shortlist before the prize will be announced on the 23th. So Standing Heavy and Whale will be next. In between I can‘t wait to read Small Pleasures, a lovely gift by the sweet @squirrelbrain 🤍

Cinfhen Good luck!! I didn‘t realize the award is being announced so soon. I‘m still hoping Still Born wins!!!! (edited) 1y
squirrelbrain It seems like Small Pleasures will be the kind of book you can dip into. I hope you enjoy. 😘 1y
