I would love to have met her - or perhaps not, I might have been disappointed.

Now that we're in the days of print on demand and e-books, hopefully someone will get round to these soon. I've been distracted by other things lately, but I plan to get to Birds in Tiny Cages soon!Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-44689804434981875272018-04-27T08:52:35.089-07:002018-04-27T08:52:35.089-07:00Thanks, Flora!Thanks, Flora!Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-31021499659013258962018-04-26T08:15:49.237-07:002018-04-26T08:15:49.237-07:00Thanks for sharing, Scott. Interesting you mentio...Thanks for sharing, Scott. Interesting you mention the confusion about the passage of time. I found the same thing with My Family and Other Animals. As though the Durrell family's stay on Corfu was a magical period, where no time actually elapsed in the real world. (It was 1935-1939, but I found that out on Wiki.)<br /><br />And Kim Philby! Always interesting to trip over links to real events and real people in memoirs.

I am wildly envious of your having read this, I have longed to read it and Birds in Tiny Cages for years and years but never been able to find a copy of either.
