Obscure(ish) Books
Despite the fact that she has been back a week, I still seem to be catching up with everything from those pesky Easter Holidays and of course there was the dreaded chicken pox. Mr PE is also (quite rightly) hogging the computer for his dissertation, so not a lot of computer time for me I’m afraid.
For today I link you to an interesting article from the Independent and because I’m lazy I quote;
Waterstone's has compiled a list of 30 'lost' masterpieces by asking writers and booksellers to name the book they believe most deserves a much wider audience
Some interesting choices there and a few by women well worth checking out.
Just by a strange coincidence I’m only a chapter in to a second hand copy of Ruth Adam’s I’m not Complaining and a quick search around the internet came up with little more information about her than what is on the inside of the front cover. (Interestingly not even a mention over at Virago, who were publishing this book in 1983) Any additional info much appreciated.
So if Waterstones asked you for a suggestion, then what would be your choice for the list?
