The Queen Of The Tambourine
The Queen Of The Tambourine | Jane Gardam
2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Eliza Peabody is one of those dangerously blameless women who believes she has God in her pocket. She is too enthusiastic; she talks too much. Her concern for the welfare of her wealthySouth London neighbours extends to ingenuous well-meaning notes of unsolicited adviceunder the door. It is just such a one-sided correspondence that heralds Eliza's undoing. Did her letter have something to do with the woman's abrupt disappearance ? Why will no-one else speak of her? And why the watchful, pitying looks and embarassment that now greet her?

📬A much needed dose of cheer straight from the mailbox. I am shocked how quickly the Slightly Foxed Summer Quarterly made it across the pond.
Anyone read Jane Gardam? A bold group member posted her in an undervalued women writers group and was told she isn‘t undervalued nor does she fit in the time period. I appreciated the post as she‘s new to me and other members recommended this one. I was sure to express my thanks to the OP for sharing her.

Tamra I haven‘t read her yet, but we‘re reading this one for #EuropaCollective in September. 5mo
Jess_Read_This @Tamra oh neat! That‘s another of her books that was recommended! Can anyone join that read along? 5mo
Ruthiella I love, love, love Jane Gardam. I‘ve not read this title yet, but I‘ve read her Old Filth trilogy and 5mo

Tamra @Ruthiella I‘ve got Old Filth on my shelf. 😅 5mo
Jess_Read_This @Ruthiella Old Filth was also talked about! Gosh, I‘ve really been missing out on Jane Gardam. Every comment I read about her books was truly expressing love for them. 5mo
Jess_Read_This @Tamra Thank you! I‘d love to read it with the group 🥰 5mo
Tamra @Jess_Read_This 👏🏾 @jlhammar can you loop Jess into the September group read of Gardam? 5mo
jlhammar It would be great if you could join us for A Long Way from Verona in September! I‘ll be sure to tag you. I‘ve only read one Gardam so far and really enjoyed it 5mo

willaful I've only read Bilgewater but I found it very interesting. 5mo
Jess_Read_This @LeahBergen I have really been missing out on Jane Gardam! Going to have to fix that asap from the sounds of it. I was shocked when I opened my mailbox and the SF quarterly was there. Which made my night being able to cozy up with it during a summer storm. 5mo
Jess_Read_This @Tamra Thanks for connecting me to the September read group! 🩵 5mo
Jess_Read_This @willaful Thank you for the recommendation! Adding Bilgewater to the TBR list. 😂From the sounds of it, I should plan on reading all her books since so many people have different favorites of hers! 5mo
