What did you think of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell? I've been thinking about picking that one up for awhile now.
How was the Elizabeth Goudge book? I've only read 2.5 of her books (Linnets and Valerians, The Little White Horse, and half of The Child from the Sea), but am thinking about reading more.
Also--Margaret mentioned in an email to me that chapbooks will be sent soon!
a fellow reader, I'm planning to post a more in-depth review soon, but I loved it! It was really well done and so intricately layered. Susannna Clarke's achievement blows my mind whenever I think about it. You do have to be willing to read the language though, because she writes flawless Regency prose. It's like reading Ann Radcliffe or Jane Austen.
Caitlin, I love Elizabeth Goudge! I've loved her since I was about ten and my grandmother left me one of her books. Smoky House isn't a huge favorite of mine, but I definitely recommend her. Don't expect anything terribly boundary-pushing, but she has a great ear and a great sense of description and character.
I got my chapbook today! I am just an hour south, but I was very excited. And joy! She liked it. :D
Which of the Goudge books would you recommend I read next?
and I'm not really surprised Margaret liked your book! It was lovely. I hope my own book arrives in Denver before I do in two weeks!
