Although once I start a n-f I'm fine. Oh snap on the Sarah Waters thing. She is one of my favourite authors and I am also reading The Little Stranger at the moment! I never watched the TV version of Lark Rise, although from what I have read it bears little resemblance to the books. Although though this is fiction, there is little dialogue and it is quite descriptive rich. I hope you won't be put off though as I found these books wonderful. I wrote about these last year if you are interested to read more: http://abookishspace.blogspot.com/2009/12/lark-rise-to-candleford.html. I adored Molly Hughes' memoires and could recommend them enough. The first in the trilogy is printed by Persephone. The other two are out of print, but all books can be bought very cheaply through Amazon marketplace. I do hope that you enjoy them!A Bookish Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352870732457077916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204156077168864224.post-13983746846278953502010-02-23T20:40:02.175+00:002010-02-23T20:40:02.175+00:00Thanks for you comment!

I LOVE Sarah Waters' novels and have just started The Little Stranger.<br />Think I will try both your suggestions - never got into the TV version of Lark Rise to Candleford, so maybe the book is the way to go. I've also heard great things about the Molly Hughes' memoirs; are they easy to get hold of?Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162449837376128737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204156077168864224.post-43899973830801502122010-02-22T12:17:25.392+00:002010-02-22T12:17:25.392+00:00I have had this book on my want to read list for a...I have had this book on my want to read list for a while, but haven't got round to it yet. I am really interested in the Victorian era, but surprising haven't read too much around this. I can recommend the first three books written by Sarah Waters, which were set in the Victorian era. You may also enjoy the Lark Rise to Candleford trilogy by Flora Thompson and Molly Vivian Hughes' memoirs.A Bookish Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352870732457077916noreply@blogger.com
