She writes very clearly and is very honest about herself and open about her life - including lots of sex, which is unexpected given it was the thirties and forties - or maybe not, it just wasn't talked about as much!<br />Happy New Year Simon.<br />JaneJanellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961832954886167857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-32537956394988341702012-01-09T15:57:55.869+00:002012-01-09T15:57:55.869+00:00Ellen - I can't decide quite what I think of P...<b>Ellen</b> - I can't decide quite what I think of Poisonwood altogether, Ellen, but I don't think I'll be rushing onto another long book just yet... but thanks for the recommendation!<br /><br /><b>stockdove</b> - well, I'm thrilled that you have commented! Nice to meet you :) Isn't the book lovely? Any book which makes me excited about other books will always delight me.<br /><br /><b>Pat</b> - hurrah! You're very welcome :) I'm looking forward to the Radio 4 programme, thanks for reminding me about it!<br /><br /><b>Susan</b> - isn't it lovely?

They always make me want to curl up with a book and a cup of hot cocoa (although that's not exactly a new feeling :-) ).<br /><br />Cheerio and happy reading :-)stockdovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04912040223892677126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-31134000264899668302012-01-09T02:23:56.152+00:002012-01-09T02:23:56.152+00:00If you liked Poisonwood, Simon, please read The La...If you liked Poisonwood, Simon, please read The Lacuna.
