The third of the Viragos I read in a row over the past two weeks, this one didn't disappoint either. Since life got in the way, I was forced to put down the book multiple times towards the end, which may have affected it slightly for me. In between reading, I turned to my partner and asked incredulously, "How does this woman know so well the way people think, and how is she able to write it down with all the nuances?". I recognized a few of my more unworthy thoughts passing through Fanny's mind. I will be looking for more Nina Bawden and Molly Keane (the first in the trio of enjoyable Viragos). And what a lovely copy mine was (The cover in the image above - I picked it up from Blossoms in Bangalore, along with 40 other books).
