Review: A Woman's Place, by Ruth Adam

Pages: 339

Original date of publication: 1975

My edition: 2000 (Persephone)

Why I decided to read: Heard about this through the Persephone catalogue

How I acquired my copy: Persephone subscription, July 2010

A Woman’s Place: 1910-1975 is a fascinating look at women’s social history between that time period. As the Persephone catalogue says, this book complements many of the other books that they (and Virago) publish because it deals in nonfiction form what the novels deal with fictionally. Organized chronologically, this book explores women’s lives at every level of British society, from the VADs (like Vera Brittain) in WWI up through the women’s lib movement.

There are some absolutely fascinating tidbits in this book, stuff I never knew. Because the book was originally published in the 1970s, it tends to be a bit feminist at times, but I thought for the most part that this was a very smart book, not preachy or pedantic. Sometimes her tone is sarcastic and dry, but never bitter. I enjoyed what Ruth Adam had to say about “superfluous women,” spinsters like me and widows who really didn’t have much of a place in early 20^th century England. It’s interesting to see how things have changed, or not, in the hundred years since!

I loved how Ruth Adam managed to incorporate the writings of various female authors into her text to illustrate her points; most of them are Persephone or Virago authors such as: Vera Brittain, Sheila Kaye-Smith, Edith Hull, Vita Sackville-West, Violet Trefusis, Rosamund Lehmann, Radclyffe Hall, and EM Delafield, just to name a few. Some of the subject matter Adam mentions was current topics even at the time she wrote this, so this whole book was very topical. And it still is, in a way. Of note, Ruth Adam mentions the 1968 Dagenham car plant strike, where the female workers went on strike for sexual discrimination; a film was recently made about the strike, so I guess interest in these things are cyclical!

Review: Crossriggs, by Jane and Mary Findlater

Pages: 380

Original date of publication: 1908

My edition: 1986

Why I decided to read: heard about it through the Virago Modern Classics list

How I acquired my copy: Ebay, August 2010

I’ve been on quite a “spinster lit” kick recently, since many Virago Modern Classics seem to fall along these lines. Set in the Scottish town of Crossriggs, this is the story of Alexandra Hope, a woman in her thirties who lives with her father, a vegetarian, and her widowed sister and her children. Alexandra becomes a devoted aunt, taking up reading aloud in order to support her family. Meanwhile, she begins a friendship with a married man with whom, predictably, she falls in love.

It’s a good story, but I thought that Alex was a bit dense most of the time—especially when it came to her feelings for Mr. Maitland! And I thought she was especially harsh when it comes to Van—poor Van, who seems to come out the loser in this story. I also had a bit of a problem with Alex’s personality; she was a bit Mary Sue-ish, too selfless at times to be wholly believable, or sympathetic. However, I like that she’s charming and independent, especially when it comes to taking care of herself and her family. Some of the other characters don’t quite jump off the page, either; Alex’s father is a vegetarian, which must have been quite unusual back then as he’s portrayed as eccentric.

In tone, this book is very Victorian, exploring as it does the twin themes of love and marriage. But it’s also very modern in its outlook, since it also explores the theme of happiness and one woman’s search for independence—even as she tries to support her family. Alex is wholly a woman of her time; she’s neither too old-fashioned nor too modern, which I like about her. This novel therefore embraces the old Victorian mores while at the same time exploring modern concepts. It’s a strange mix, but one I found strangely compelling.

Review: Thunder on the Right, by Mary Stewart

Pages: 352

Original date of publication: 1957

My edition: 2004 (Harper Torch)

Why I decided to read: I’m trying to read all of Mary Stewart’s books, and this one seemed to be the perfect vacation read

How I acquired my copy: Chester County Books and Music, June 2009

I’m really trying to read Mary Stewart’s books at the slowest rate possible, because I’ve only got two or three left of hers to read for the first time. Like her other books, Thunder on the Right is romantic suspense, but it’s a departure for Mary Stewart in that the book is written in the third person. I’m used to her books being written in the first person, so this kind of threw me off at first as I was reading—not sure I like the change!

The plot is what I’ve come to expect from a May Stewart book—plucky heroine goes to the Pyrenees to see her cousin, who has written to say that she is joining a convent. Hoping to dissuade her, Jennifer discovers that her cousin has apparently died—or has she? With a Mary Stewart novel you never quite know what’s going to be in store for you. Of course, there’s the handsome hero who swoops in to save the day at the last minute; and, obviously a bad guy. The ending is a bit predictable, but getting there is half the fun—and what a ride it turns out to be for the reader! This novel explores some of the same themes (and crimes) as This Rough Magic; but there’s a twist here, one that I wasn’t really expecting. Kudos to Mary Stewart for constantly keeping things interesting in her novels! Love the setting too; which is also typically Mary Stewart. This is a good, relaxing vacation read, one that I enjoyed immensely.

Review: The Anatomy of Ghosts, by Andrew Taylor

Pages: 469

Original date of publication: 2010

My edition: 2011 (Hyperion)

Why I decided to read: it was offered through Amazon Vine

How I acquired my copy: Amazon.com, November 2010

Last year, I read one of Andrew Taylor’s other books: Bleeding Heart Square, set in Earl’s Court in the 1930s, right in the heart of the British fascist movement. The Anatomy of Ghosts is completely different. Set in 1786, it features a bookseller who is commissioned by a wealthy lady to catalogue a library, while at the same time find his benefactress’s son, a student at Cambridge who has been committed to an insane asylum.

It’s an interesting premise, but it’s not an original one. The author turns to all the old clichés: a femme fatale (guess where that story line is going?), a mysterious library, a murder, a secret mission, etc. Taylor doesn’t really go out of the box for this book as he did with Bleeding heart Square, and Holdsworth, his main character, is about as bland as they come. Maybe I’m becoming heartless, but I really couldn’t sympathize with his situation. The story about Frank, the young man in the asylum, was tragic but also very bizarre at the same time. As I progressed with the reading of this novel, I found myself caring less and less about the characters and plot, to the point where I had to stop about 2/3 of the way through.

Although the book is supposed to be set in the late 18^th century, it really could take place at any time, anywhere; there’s no historical detail to make me think that this book was set in 1786. I enjoyed the promise of having a supernatural element to the story, but it kind of got lost along the way for me. There are lots of details, however, about the politics of college life, which were sometimes interesting and sometimes took away from the flow of the plot. I wish I could have enjoyed this book more than I did; but different strokes from different folks, I guess!

Virago Reading Week: January 24-30

I nearly forgot that Virago Reading Week starts today! Hosted by Rachel and Carolyn, I discovered Virago Modern Classics last May, and I’ve been hooked ever since (there’s a very active group devoted to VMCs on LibraryThing, and it’s nice to see these authors being rediscovered). I went through and counted my unread Viragos, and I’ve got 32 of them: the full list for me to choose from is here. In the meantime, here are reviews of some VMCs I've read in the past. I got a head start this weekend with Molly Keane's Devoted Ladies, and I'll be posting sporadically through this week. If you're participating, happy reading!

The Sunday Salon

Happy Sunday! This has been a huge week for me, as I finally moved into my new apartment! It’s not completely done yet—there are a few small details that need to be ironed out—and, since my tub was reglazed, I couldn’t use my shower for a day or so—but now everything is running pretty smoothly.

Last night I went to my company’s annual holiday party and had a great time. I think sometimes at work we spend too much time focused on work that it’s nice to see people outside of that setting. Plus, since the company I work for is so large and has so many offices that it’s nice to see the whole company come together for it.

This whole weekend has been a whirlwind, actually; my parents were here on Friday and yesterday, and then today my dad was in town to get my TV set up (still not completely set up, but that’s a complicated story. At least I have a working internet connection now). Now I’m hanging out at home, watching Lost on DVD on my TV. I haven’t actually done that much reading this week; I’ve been getting used to my new routine. But I’m currently reading Devoted Ladies, by Molly Keane (kind of limping through it, actually, since my attention has been diverted).

Review: The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters

Pages: 510

Original date of publication: 2009

My edition: 2010 (Riverhead)

Why I decided to read: an impulse purchase

How I acquired my copy: impulse purchase at Borders in the Philadelphia airport, December 2010

How on earth have I never gotten around to reading this book before this? I feel as though I’m the last person in the book blogosphere to read and review this book! Other reviewers have said enough on the plot of the book; I really don’t know if I have anything to add to it. I’m almost ashamed to admit that this is the first book I’ve read by Sarah Waters!

The description of the book says that it’s a ghost story; but this book goes far beyond that, in my opinion. Sure, there’s a hint of the supernatural in this story (although it’s never fully realized, nor does this story line come to a satisfying conclusion), but it’s much more a work of historical fiction that takes a look at the breakdown in the social hierarchy in the years just after WWII. Roderick Ayres is the “squire,” owner of an 18^th century mansion that has fallen on hard times; Dr. Faraday, on the other hand, is the son of a housemaid who has nonetheless managed to do moderately well for himself (although the reader detects a fair amount of bitterness from him towards those who are better off than he is, mixed with enviousness and the desire to be socially acceptable). At the beginning of the story, there’s a clear distinction between the two (Dr. Faraday is treated much the same way as the housemaid is treated); but as the Ayres family falls, the lines between the classes are blurred. Sarah Waters’s treatment of her subject is very deftly, subtly handled, but she gets her point across very well.

The ghost story aspect was a little more frustrating for me, especially since, as I’ve said, this part of the story gets abandoned for other, more interesting things. The supernatural stuff is creepy, but it’s not really the focus of this novel.

I also loved Sarah Waters’s descriptions of her characters, something she appears to do very well. Each one is fully developed, even Dr. Faraday, who’s a bit of a wet blanket sometimes, and not totally compelling as a narrator. He was also frustratingly obtuse at times, which is not something I particularly care for in a narrator who’s supposed to be a) observant and b) a doctor! My favorite character was Caroline (I’m laughing as I write this, because she’s the exact same age as I am, but she’s described as a spinster!). But as the novel reveals, each member of the Ayres family has his or her own particular weakness, which is brought to the forefront. I loved how Sarah Waters handles Roderick’s character, and his madness—or is it madness? Very well done.

Review: Lady Rose and Mrs. Memmary, by Ruby Ferguson

Pages: 223

Original date of publication: 1937

My edition: 2004 (Persephone)

Why I decided to read: Heard about it through the Persephone catalogue

How I acquired my copy: Persephone subscription, November 2010

One day, three tourists are given a tour of Keepsfield, a rambling, palatial estate in Scotland, and the home of the absent Lady Rose, Countess of Lochlule. The tour is given by the housekeeper, Mrs. Memmary, who tells the story of Lady Rose in snippets, from her childhood to early adulthood. This is a very sweet romance and a tale of how one woman manages to find happiness—first doing what is expected of her and then finding happiness in the most unexpected place. There’s even a fun little twist at the end of this short novel, which is both sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.

I generally love the books that Persephone have reprinted (there have bee one or two exceptions), and this is one of them, very similar to, as the Persephone website suggests, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. At times this book has a very Cinderella-esque feel to it; there’s even a fairy godmother in the guise of an elderly aunt (and, to some extent, a spinster friend of Lady Rose’s, who is absolutely miserable despite having the freedom to do whatever she wants). While she’s married to Sir Hector, Lady Rose describes herself as happy; but is she really? In a sense, this novel is about the search for happiness, and the lengths that some people will go to in order to achieve it. It helps that Lady Rose—and the present-day Helen Dacre—are both romantics; it’s through Helen that we get to see the story as it’s meant to be.

Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

--Grab your current read

--Open to a random page

--share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

Be sure NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

--Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

“All fifty of Colt’s female operatives were employed in the same region of the works, on the lighter machines, and they took their dinner together. They sat by the water trough in the centre of the yard, chattering and laughing as they ate.”

The Sunday Salon

Happy Sunday, everyone! This is the last week before I move into my new condo! I’ve spent most of the week packing books—my shelves look very empty. But I’m excited for this new chapter in my life, especially since the renovations to my apartment have been going on for three months. Next weekend is my company’s holiday party, which I’ve been looking forward to for a while. I’ll have been living in my new apartment for only about 24 hours!

I promised myself that I’d cut back on my book buying this year (don’t I do that every year, though?), but so far I’ve had no success. A trip to the Book Trader during my lunch break yielded copies of I’m Not Complaining, by Ruth Adam, and The Loved and Envied, by Edith Bagnold. Then, through Awesomebooks, I bought myself The Camomile, by Catherine Carswell, Marriage, by Susan Ferrier, and Phoebe, Junior, by Mrs. Oliphant. From another LibraryThing user, I received a copy of Vita Sackville-West’s All Passion Spent; and on Ebay I found a cheap copy of Clever Woman of the Family, by Charlotte Mary Yonge that was too good to pass up (all are Virago Modern Classics). On vacation in Arizona, I impulsively bout a copy of Betty Smith’s Joy in the Morning; and then through Persephone’s website I bought A Very Great Profession, Few Eggs and No Oranges, and Alas, Poor Lady. Whew! The Viragos and Persephones are all coming to my new address within the next couple of weeks (I look at them as housewarming gifts for myself, LOL).

Currently, I’m reading Ruth Adam’s A Woman’s Place: 1910-1975, a Persephone reprint and a social history of women in Britain between those years. Very interesting what she has to say about “superfluous women!” Also read this week were Crossriggs, by Jane and Mary Findlater (excellent; I’ve been on a “spinster lit” kick lately) and The Bolter, by Robin Osborne, a biography of a 1920s and ‘30s socialite who “bolted” from five husbands and three children. Reviews pending.

How has your Sunday been? What are you reading?

Review: Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont, by Elizabeth Taylor

Pages: 206

Original date of publication: 1971

My edition: 2009 (Virago Modern Classics)

Why I decided to read: LT recommendation

How I acquired my copy: LT Virago Modern Classics group member, December 2010

Mrs. Palfrey is an elderly widow who moves in to the Claremont Hotel, a stop-gap between home and a nursing home. One day she has a fall and is assisted up by Ludo Myers, a young writer whom she quickly befriends. It is a very unlikely friendship, but one with many possibilities. Mrs. Palfrey has a rather detestable grandson, and with the help of a little white lie, Ludo steps into that role. Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont is a sweet, quiet story of friendship and of growing old, contrasting Mrs. Palfrey’s situation with that of Ludo’s.

Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont is a short, easy read, but its emotional impact is strong. Although Mrs. Palfrey’s real family, with the daughter up in Scotland and the unlikeable grandson, seems to have abandoned her, it’s amazing how she’s managed to form a bond with someone else—someone who genuinely cares about her and sees her as surrogate family. This book proves the trite saying that your real family is the one that you make for yourself; but in this case, it really is true, since both Mrs. Palfrey and Ludo look for, and find, love from each other.

I loved Taylor’s descriptions of Mrs. Palfrey’s companions at the Claremont: Mr. Osmond, who writes daily letters to newspapers; Mrs. Arbuthnot with her arthritis; and others. Morbidly, it seems as though they’re all waiting for death to come, but each seems to be making the most of it (witness Mr. Osmond’s ridiculous marriage proposal). It’s interesting how of all the residents at the Claremont, there’s only one man. The theme of aging and death could have been overwhelming, but in this novel, it’s not. Instead, there’s a sweet, hopeful tone to the novel. This is a well-written novel with some enduring, thought-provoking themes, and one I enjoyed greatly. I’m looking forward to reading more Elizabeth Taylor in the future.

Review: Clara and Mr. Tiffany, by Susan Vreeland

Pages: 405

Original date of publication: 2010

My edition: 2010 (Random House)

Why I decided to read: it was offered as a part of the Amazon Vine program

How I acquired my copy: Amazon Vine, November 2010

Clara and Mr. Tiffany tells the story of Clara Driscoll, the creative impetus behind the iconic Tiffany lamps. She was also the head of the women’s division at Tiffany Studios in the 1890s and 1900s, and had a close working relationship with Louis Comfort Tiffany himself. Clara Driscoll’s work made her more or less at the center of the Decorative Arts movement of the late 19^th century, although her work was never fully acknowledged in her lifetime (even today, we call them Tiffany Lamps, not Driscoll Lamps!).

The story opens in 1893, when Clara, newly widowed, rejoins Tiffany Studios. The story follows her over the next fifteen years or so. The novel is the story of how Clara struggled to balance her love life with her work life (since married women were not permitted to work for Tiffany); and, in the larger sense, this is a story of women in the workplace in the early 19^th century. It seems that Clara’s life was defined in part by her relationships with men: her first husband, two fiancées, her boarding-house friend, and, ultimately, with her boss.

Susan Vreeland tells Clara Driscoll’s fascinating story very well, interweaving plot with descriptions of the glass that she and her girls worked with every day. I’ve always wondered how Tiffany glass was produced, and so I enjoyed the descriptions of the various techniques that were used to make it. Having read some of Susan Vreeland’s art-based novels, it seems that she really has a talent for describing color and technique in a way that makes it interesting for the reader, without being pedantic. Clara lived at a time when drastic changes were happening in New York City, and so we get to see the incorporation of the boroughs into New York, as well as the opening of the subway system.

If you ever find yourself in New York City, do stop by the display of Tiffany lamps on the top floor of the New-York Historical Society! They are well worth the visit.

Review: The Saracen Blade, by Frank Yerby

Pages: 406

Original date of publication:

My edition: 1992 (Guild Press)

Why I decided to read: heard about this book through Amazon.com

How I acquired my copy: Amazon seller, February 2010

The Saracen Blade is the story of Pietro di Donati, son of a 13^th-century Sicilian peasant. Born at almost the exact same moment as the Emperor Frederick, Pietro’s fate is loosely linked with his. The story is set against the backdrop of the crusades, and we even get to see some of the current events of the time, especially the Children’s Crusade and the Albigensian Crusade. Simon de Montfort even makes a cameo at one point, but be aware that he doesn't come across so well.

It’s a thick, dense novel, despite how short it is (there are even footnotes, which detracts from the flow of the story). It starts off very slowly, and it took me about fifty pages or so to get into the flow of the story. Pietro is a pretty dense, incomprehensible character, and he seems even callous at times (especially when he leaves his first wife, a wet noodle I just couldn't care for, either). I loved the historical backdrop, but I wasn’t quite as attached to Pietro as I wanted to be. He just didn’t leap off the page for me, and his friendship with the Emperor stretched credibility.

I loved the historical setting, since Frank Yerby describes everything so well; but his prose is, as I’ve said, dense and hard to follow at times; but at others, he tends to get a bit over-dramatic. I enjoyed the love story between Pietro and Iolanthe, but it mostly got lost in the amount of historical details that Yerby gives his reader.

Review: Loving Without Tears, by Molly Keane

Pages: 256

Original date of publication: 1951

My edition: 1997 (Virago)

Why I decided to read: I’m trying to read all of Molly Keane’s novels

How I acquired my copy: Ebay seller, August 2010

I became a Molly Keane fan after reading The Rising Tide and Taking Chances. I’m starting to notice some trends in Molly Keane’s novels: a domineering family matriarch, an old family house in Ireland. Loving Without Tears has both, but the house in this book isn’t important. Covering the space of a single day, and an epilogue three weeks later, this book tells the story of Angel, a woman who clings tightly to her grown children, watching in despair as they fall in love and intend to marry.

Loving Without Tears is sadly not my favorite of the Molly Keane books I’ve read. Set in the years after WWII, there’s still this wonderful dreamlike quality to it (for some reason, I kept thinking of the setting of the musical Mamma Mia as I read!). The focus of this novel is on the relationship between Angel and Julian and Slaney; and I found myself almost detesting Angel for nearly smothering her children. But in some ways you feel sorry for her; if her children leave, she really doesn’t have much to live for. There are some clichéd characters in this novel, namely the vampy American that Julian intends to marry and the caustic land agent, but some of the others are very well portrayed. On the other hand, I was a bit exasperated at Chris and Tiddley, two characters who basically allow themselves to be used as doormats.

As I read this book, I kept having the feeling that I was just floating along; unfortunately, I didn’t find myself caring much for any of the characters or their motivations. Because the action is set during the course of a single day, the author has a lot to get in, and I found myself believing that all of this would take place in such a short period of time. But Molly Keane is skilled at describing things; and since this book is set during the month of June, it was the perfect antidote to the December days I read this book in. I wasn’t fully enamored of this novel, but I’m still a Molly Keane fan and have several of her other books on my shelf.

Review: Tell it to a Stranger, by Elizabeth Berridge

Pages: 174

Original date of publication: 1947-9

My edition: 2000 (Persephone)

Why I decided to read: heard about it through the Persephone catalogue

How I acquired my copy: Persephone subscription, September 2010

Tell It to a Stranger is a collection of short stories hat Elizabeth Berridge wrote during and after WWII. All the stories deal with the war in some way, but they focus more specifically on the relationships between people and the way they deal with the war. The stories reflect many of the emotions that people experienced during the war, as many people in England were displaced. Some of these stories are sad, some happy, but they are all moving in their own way.

Elizabeth Berridge wrote the Afterword to this collection, and she shares with the reader some of her own personal stories about the war, some of them serendipitous. And some of the stories in this book are based on real things that happened to Elizabeth Berridge—like the character in the first story, “Snowstorm,” she was billeted out for a time while she was pregnant and the raids were going on in London. Elizabeth Berridge’s husband was apparently convinced that writers had a major part to play in the war: “Do we ever really know…the precise nature of what we have gone through until our writers recreate it for us?” Which Berridge does exceptionally well in this collection.
