See the comment below--Ann Bridge definitely seems like a plausible possibility for the target of AT's contempt.<br /><br />I do hope that Howis's novels, should I ever get hold of them, live up to their cover art!Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-54563957092838400872015-09-04T15:05:36.309-07:002015-09-04T15:05:36.309-07:00Wow, that's not a terribly effective search en...Wow, that's not a terribly effective search engine, isn't it?!Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-89029805383356469622015-09-04T15:05:08.971-07:002015-09-04T15:05:08.971-07:00Thanks, Kate.

Gallie's "Travels with a Duchess" could almost be a novel by the legendary Mrs. Rivers (Hermione) a novelist created by Angela Thirkelll, Mrs. RAivers' work tended to be set in foreign, even exotic locals, and featured misunderstood middle-aged women, adored by younger men! She is apparently based on someone, one, at least, of who's novels I read, but I cannot recall.....Jerri? Anyone!<br />In any case, Scott, that and a reference to a Mrs. POMFRET, also of Thirkell fame - Scott, a double treat for this morning! As always, kudos to you for a very fun posting today!<br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-27925899166766296092015-09-02T05:10:33.415-07:002015-09-02T05:10:33.415-07:00I have not, but when I searched my library network...I have not, but when I searched my library network catalog for "Beneath a Visiting Moon" it suggested "Inorganic Chemistry for Dummies." ?GSGreatEscaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362042499522934670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-10359400939414317182015-09-02T04:58:32.073-07:002015-09-02T04:58:32.073-07:00such wonderful book cover artsuch wonderful book cover artKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132990932997020431noreply@blogger.com
