Friday Finds


I haven’t done this in a while! As opposed to talking about books I’ve heard of, I thought I’d focus on the books I’ve bought and ARCs that have come into the house so far this month. I’m really trying to keep my book buying to a minimum, but it’s tough! I seem to be acquiring them faster than I read them.

Claude and Camille, by Stephanie Cowell. One of my April books from Amazon Vine.

Shadow Princess, by Indu Sundaresan. A novel set in 17th century India; another Vine book.

The Outcast, by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles. Bought online yesterday; the 21st book in the Morland Dynasty series.

Airs Above the Ground and Thunder on the Right, by Mary Stewart. I got in the mood to read more of her novels, and these are the only two I didn’t own before.

Clouds of Witness and The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, by Dorothy Sayers. Another author I’ve been itching to read more of recently.

Green Dragon, White Tiger, by Annette Motley. A novel set in 7th century China.

Jorvik, by Sheelagh Kelly. A novel set in 11th century York, pre-Conquest; I heard about this from Elizabeth Chadwick over at HFO, and since she and I seem to share similar reading tastes, I thought I’d try this one out.

Legacy, by Susan Kay. I borrowed this from the library, read a few pages, and decided that I’d rather own my own copy.

On the Night of the Seventh Moon, by Victoria Holt. More Gothic romance.

Into the Wilderness, by Sara Donati. Bought this with a gift card at Barnes and Noble at the beginning of the month.

High Wages, by Dorothy Whipple. My Persephone book for April. I was very excited to receive this in the mail, as I do love Dorothy Whipple’s novels (haven’t read any of her stories apart from the one that was published in the Persephone Biannually last fall).

I think I've read 20 books from my shelves this year and brought in around 50. It's ridiculous. You have some great books there though!

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...

Review: The Piano Teacher, by Janice Y.K. Lee

The Piano Teacher is a complicated novel. On the surface, it’s about a love affair between two British ex-patriots in Hong Kong in 1952-3. Claire Pendleton comes to Hong Kong with her husband Martin at a time when the world is still recovering from WWII; Claire takes up work as a piano teacher for the daughter of a wealthy Chinese family, where she meets Will Truesdale, the Chens’ enigmatic chauffeur. The book jumps back in time between the 1950s and the beginning of WWII, when Will is interned in Stanley, a Hong Kong camp for enemies of Japan. On “the outside” is Tudy Liang, Will’s beautiful Eurasian lover. There’s no doubt that Lee’s writing is beautiful. But there’s something lacking in this short, terse novel that I can’t quite put my finger on. First, I think it’s the tenses she uses when taking about each story: that which is set in the 1950s is in the past tense, while the war scenes are talked about in the present tense (confusing, no?) The interpersonal relationships of the m...
