Friday Finds


Righting the Mother Tongue: From Olde English to E-Mail, the Tangled Story of English Spelling, by David Wollman. A humorous story of English spelling. ARC.

American Eve, by Paula Uruburu. The story of Evelyn Nesbitt, the Gilded Age’s “It Girl,” and the murder of her husband. I saw this at McNally Robinson yesterday.

The Toss of a Lemon, by Padma Viswanathan. A book about a woman in India in the last days of the British Empire. ARC.

The Birthday Present, by Barbara Vine. I have no clue what this is about, but it’s due to be released sometime next year. And I love this woman's writing.

An Expert in Murder: A New Mystery Featuring Josephine Tey, by Nicola Upson. A woman is found murdered on a train and Tey is at hand to investigate. I saw this through someone else's blog, but I now can't remember where! If anyone can be of any help, that would be greatly appreciated.

I have American Eve on my pile as well and can't wait to get to it. And I have the Tey mystery checked out from thelibrary as well. I think we have very similar reading tastes as I'm also a great fan of Barbara Vine mysteries--is that an ARC? I might have to order it from the UK as I think it might be out already? (Not sure actually, but I thought I saw it on a British blog recently as well as one called Portobello, which I think is by Ruth Rendell). Now Toss of a Lemon is new to me, and I'm off to request it from the library--thanks!

A giveaway winner, and another giveaway

The winner of the Girl in a Blue Dress contest is... Anna, of Diary of An Eccentric ! My new contest is for a copy of The Shape of Mercy , by Susan Meissner. According to Publisher's Weekly : Meissner's newest novel is potentially life-changing, the kind of inspirational fiction that prompts readers to call up old friends, lost loves or fallen-away family members to tell them that all is forgiven and that life is too short for holding grudges. Achingly romantic, the novel features the legacy of Mercy Hayworth—a young woman convicted during the Salem witch trials—whose words reach out from the past to forever transform the lives of two present-day women. These book lovers—Abigail Boyles, elderly, bitter and frail, and Lauren Lars Durough, wealthy, earnest and young—become unlikely friends, drawn together over the untimely death of Mercy, whose precious diary is all that remains of her too short life. And what a diary! Mercy's words not only beguile but help Abigail and Lars

Six Degrees of Barbara Pym's Novels

This year seems to be The Year of Barbara Pym; I know some of you out there are involved in some kind of a readalong in honor of the 100th year of her birth. I’ve read most of her canon, with only The Sweet Dove Died, Civil to Strangers, An Academic Question, and Crampton Hodnet left to go (sadly). Barbara Pym’s novels feature very similar casts of characters: spinsters, clergymen, retirees, clerks, and anthropologists, with which she had direct experience. So it stands to reason that there would be overlaps in characters between the novels. You can trace that though the publication history of her books and therefore see how Pym onionizes her stories and characters. She adds layers onto layers, adding more details as her books progress. Some Tame Gazelle (1950): Archdeacon Hoccleve makes his first appearance. Excellent Women (1952): Archdeacon Hoccleve gives a sermon that is almost incomprehensible to Mildred Lathbury; Everard Bone understands it, however, and laughs
