Thank you! And yes! She’s great! She’s one of those authors whose name I kept hearing for years, but I’m glad I took the leap and read some of her books. She’s so quietly underrated!
This was very interesting! I've never read any Beryl Bainbridge, probably because she was never translated into Finnish, so I simple wasn't aware of her for a long time. (👋 I'm a librarian from Finland) All of these sound like ones I'd like to read, so into my massive TBR mountain they go.
Thank you so much! And wonderful, I’ve still never visited Finland, but I almost moved there for a Masters once! Beryl is a fun author- she feels very typically English to me, and her character observations are very precise! ‘An Awfully Big Adventure’ is a really fun place to start, I think! Haha, I feel you on the TBR! It always grows faster than you can shrink it!
@@IWriteMotto Sorry, I don’t think I’ll be able to get the book, read it and make a video on it within that time! But I’m sure there must be a video on it somewhere on BookTube! All my best!
Interesting Bob. One of my favourite novelists
