readin’ time….
i’ll be honest…i’ve been reading dostoevsky’s the brothers karamazov at work, but i just haven’t brought myself to open it up here at home. thus my unimaginably slow progress. soooo, i was forced to seek out something else for home – yesterday i started reading sarah blake’s grange house and just now finished it.
i would normally quote something from the jacket, or from amazon, but i’m lazy today. the novel is summed up fairly well by simply stating that it is a gothic romance/ghost story written by an author with a doctorate in victorian literature. 🙂
i enjoyed it quite a bit (hence the less than 24 hour reading period) and i recommed it to others who enjoy victorian books, etc (this one being on the lighter side). it had lots of references to the bronte sisters, jane eyre and the mill on the floss (which i just picked up yesterday, btw, and am eagerly anticipating!). the author’s blend of styles was a bit confusing at first, making me think of it as an obivious ‘first work.’ but after a hundred pages or so, it blossomed into a mature novel, with a very enjoyable and well-told story.
anyhoo…i liked it! 😀 great read for a rainy day!
