I bought this book [Mrs Fytton’s Country Life, by Mavis Cheek] at the Scout Rummage Sale the other Saturday [eight books for a quid- not exactly extravagant]I was attracted by the cover design, and the blurb explaining how “a middle-aged woman called Angela went to live in the country”. I took it to Cornerstones to read at Half-Term. But it wasn’t my sort of book at all.The only thing I really liked about it was the cover!
But that is just my opinion – I found a much more positive review here – I suspect my copy – almost pristine- will go to charity soon!
Interesting - I recently read "Amenable women" by Mavis Cheek and really enjoyed it - it's about one woman's fascination with Anna of Cleves. I haven't read this one. I will send you your quid plus postage if you want to pass it on.
ReplyDeleteI like the cover, too!
