It reminded me of a book I'm very fond of, Marian Cockrell's "Mixed Blessings." But it's an odd book! I'd like to talk about it, so go ahead and read it. :D<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-25465664714227021922014-10-16T15:50:44.356-05:002014-10-16T15:50:44.356-05:00I had to smile when I came to your reference of Po...I had to smile when I came to your reference of Possession because while I was reading your review I was thinking how much like Possession this reminded me!<br /><br />I haven't heard of Margaret Kennedy before, but this one sounds pretty interesting with lots of food for thought.<br /><br />I notice you're reading a book by Emily Kimborough--I read Our Hearts Were Young and Gay at my mother's insistence years ago (she loved it) and have been meaning to try something else by Kimborough ever since.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-74522373507948088792014-10-14T22:04:49.965-05:002014-10-14T22:04:49.965-05:00Cat, I also discovered some new titles I hadn'...Cat, I also discovered some new titles I hadn't heard of before.

Have you read Penelope Lively's According to Mark? It's along the same lines, but tighter & funnier, to my mind (and written before Possession).<br /><br />Helen, I'm in the same boat! I have Troy Chimneys, which is historical fiction centered on family papers (2 of my favorite elements).Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-91520699462230379352014-10-12T11:15:30.329-05:002014-10-12T11:15:30.329-05:00I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
