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.<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>I got my chapbook today! I am just an hour south, but I was very excited. And joy! She liked it. :DMaureenEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05375521802342642953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369476.post-61145590931458367362008-06-06T00:09:00.000-07:002008-06-06T00:09:00.000-07:00How 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. <BR/><BR/>Also--Margaret mentioned in an email to me that chapbooks will be sent soon!Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960966767398565271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369476.post-12988653193208985902008-06-05T21:59:00.000-07:002008-06-05T21:59:00.000-07:00What did you think of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Nor...What did you think of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell?
