Second book finished for #NovelNovember! @Andrew65

This installment of the Maigret series has the most exciting start of the ones I've read so far, with a condemned prisoner escaping from his cell.

I also watched the TV adaptation with Bruno Cremier, which was good though melodramatic. The characters drank a lot of Manhattans in the Parisian bar!

This was a little different from the other Montgomery books I‘ve read so far. Firstly, we follow several people in the Dark and Penhallow clan. Secondly, I‘m a little surprised this is seen as a children‘s book (I‘ve heard that only The Blue Castle is seen an adult book). None of the people we follow are children, they youngest is 18, most seem to be in their 30s and it‘s about who will inherit the family heirloom, the jug.

AnneCecilie I never cared about heritage when I was a kid. That doesn‘t mean that I didn‘t enjoy this. The characters and their descriptions are all Montgomery. And off course the chase for the jug have some unexpected consequences for several people in the clan. #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead @Barbara It says that is was published in #1931 #192025 @Librarybelle 2y
Librarybelle What a perfect choice! I love the books by LM Montgomery! 2y
quietjenn I agree. This seems to have more adult appeal to me. 2y

Next up - the story of this author suing the Gestapo for blocking her royalties immediately peaked my interest. And while it‘s still early, the writing has this rhythm and pace that I‘m really loving. Gilgi seems to be an early feminist and I‘m always for forgotten classics!
