I’m back again withl a few more books that I’ve recently picked up because I just can’t help myself...
- Johnathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - This book wasn’t on my radar at all until recently, after I came across a couple of reviews that made me interested. A historical fiction fantasy taking place in Victorian England. Yes, please!
- Lorna Doone - Speaking of Victorian England, this is a Victorian novel I don’t see many people talking about. I’m familiar with the 2000 BBC adaptation of this novel and I want to read the original source material.
- Within a Budding Grove - I’ll continue reading the six volume In Search of Lost Time and this one is already on my 2023 reading list.
Have you read any of these novels?

Thank you Estelle. I galloped through Lorna Doone in my teens and treasure my illustrated Victorian classic edition. I loved the lyrical prose. Susanna Clarke is a favourite author. I will check out 'Within A Budding Grove'.
ReplyDeleteI'm re-reading historical novels and looking for inspiration as I write my own second novel. My own debut The Seasonwife hit the shelves and other places and she's tracking well.
It is thanks to great readers - you, and other readers like you - that writers write.
