Repost for @LeahBergen

It‘s now June so that means it‘s time for one of our #PersephoneClub reads!

@elkeOriginal ‘s pick for us this month is The Exiles Return by Elisabeth de Waal. This is a casual buddy read; read and comment on each other‘s posts and reviews as you see them. We usually aim to finish by the middle of the month but that‘s not written in stone. 😉 And anyone is welcome to read along with us, of course!

LeahBergen Thanks for the repost! ❤️ 3d

Fidelity: A Novel | Susan Glaspell

Pickpick

delightfulread,Persephone, ever in a reading slump ?Pick up one of their classics in essence a story of unhappy relationships, a one sided community & the cruelty of gossip. Sometimes marriages and relationships just don‘t work out, “ I went away with you because I was as I was, I am going my way now alone because I am as I am. And what you don‘t see is this , the thing that made me go with you then is the thing that makes me go my way alone now ‘

Doreen | Barbara Noble
post image
Pickpick

Doreen is one of so many children evacuated from London during WWII, staying at a country house with a couple she doesn't know. While part of the story feels very "classic kid-lit" with Doreen discovering her new village, trying to find new friends, and taking a trip to Oxford with her wealthy caretakers, the lives and emotions of Doreen's adults (her actual parents and the couple who grow to love her) quickly become complicated. Beautifully done!

The shuttle | Frances Hodgson Burnett
post image

It‘s funny that Betty describes nasty Nigel describes as the villain in a melodrama, because I thought of him as Snidely Whiplash from the beginning. 🤣

Also, I‘ve never seen the phrase “Hully gee!” outside of a #BetsyTacy book.

All that said, I loved this book! I think it‘s the first adult novel by FHB I‘ve read, but I‘m definitely going to read more.
