pickI was worried that this book might be a bit too highbrow for me, and sometimes it was. (This may also be due to a bit of non-concentratey skim reading going on!)
However I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book, having been a little bit frightened by it before starting.

JennyM I‘m really perfecting the art of non-concentratey skim reading at the moment! It is quite the skill 😉 (edited) 5y

BarbaraBB I loved this one when I read it in the 90s, and underlined so many sentences back then. 💚 5y
Butterfinger Ugh. I hated the part where the wife smells her husband's hair. That is the only part that stuck with me. No. It's coming back to me. 5y
Blaire @BarbaraBB same! If asked in college I would have named it as my favorite book. 5y
squirrelbrain @JennyM - yes, and we‘ve got plenty of time to hone our art, haven‘t we?! (edited) 5y
squirrelbrain Eeww @Butterfinger - I know, that was gross.... 5y
squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB @Blaire I probably would have loved it more if I‘d not read it at this weird time.... 5y
BarbaraBB @Blaire Mine too, absolutely! @squirrelbrain these times are influencing our reading experiences very much but neither am I sure if I‘d enjoy the book as much as I did back then. 5y
Blaire @BarbaraBB agree. These times are impacting my focus and reactions to books...but I also think there is something about that book that has particular appeal or meaning when read in teens or 20s. 5y
Cathythoughts Helen thanks so much , your parcel arrived, I will open on the day ! Thankyou 😘 5y
