![]() ![]() The hugely satisfying and quite unputdownable story of high jinks and politicking in a cathedral town. The feeling of menace is unbearable as a gentle, beautiful, sensitive wife loses her smooth, cold lawyer husband to a formidable boot. One of the most brilliant and saddest novels ever written. The Tortoise and the Hare by Elizabeth Jenkins A seminal book for my generation - as schoolgirls we all dreamed of the hero, that marvel of Gallic sophistication the Duke de Sauveterre. The Pursuit of Love by Nancy MitfordĪnother wonderful and incredibly funny love story, based on the antics of the legendary Mitford sisters and their eccentric parents. ![]() Quite the best dog story ever written, covering a day in the life of a stylish but wayward Victorian puppy. A Dog Day by Walter Emmanuel with illustrations by Cecil Alden Middlemarch by George EliotĪnother great romantic story, in which the adorable intellectually pretentious heroine makes a disastrous marriage to a dessicated fossil before finding true love with a penniless somebody. An incredibly funny, very upmarket love story with an enchanting heroine and the perfect romantic hero: a tartar with a heart of gold. ![]()
