I re-read it a couple of years ago, it had dated in some ways, but I still found the atmosphere she created wonderfully evocative.<br />Lucky you, how do you find the space.

The Millstone by Margaret ...Good haul there Simon. The Millstone by Margaret Drabble is the first I read by this author and, like the L-Shaped Room, is very much of its time ie - 1960s. The Millstone of the title is an illegitimate baby and the attitudes of the day towards such an event are really quite staggering looking back and compared with todays easy acceptance of teen age pregnancies.<br /><br />This is one of MD's earlier books and has an ease and lack of pretentiousness which, sadly, cannot be said, in my opinion only of course, of her current output. This is when she wrote without polishing and honing each sentence for posterity. I shall be very interested to hear your take on it.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17739410242766153431noreply@blogger.com
