I chose A Separate Peace for this category. I am glad I finally read it, but I had mixed feelings.

ReplyDeleteH. Rider Haggard let me down with "Lysbeth." Maybe he should stick to non-historical topics next time.
ReplyDeleteRead Brideshead Revisited & just linked. Thanks, Karen.
ReplyDeleteI just finished "Flight Into Camden" by David Storey. When I was growing up in the 60s in an East Midlands industrial town, I, and most of my high school friends, dreamed of getting away to London, of making our own way in the world. My grandparents had made the step up from the working class so my parents were supportive and understood my dreams. I have recently found out, however, that there are close relatives of mine who did not move up into the middle class, cousins that I never knew about until Ancestry brought them to light. They still do not want to connect, the schism was clearly brutal. I am glad I read this book for the understanding that it provided.
