Sidmouth Letters
Sidmouth Letters | Jane Gardam
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Jane Austen's love life- long the subject of speculation- is finally, delightfully dealt with in the title story of this collection. Many of the other stories, like 'The Sidmouth Letters, ' bring together past and present- with sometimes hilarious, sometimes disturbing, often intensely moving results. With quiet elegance and devastating accuracy, Jane Gardam probes many and varied lives. We meet a trio of Kensington widows, mean-spirited and middle-aged, paying improbable tribute to a long exploited nanny; we await- with dread- a stranger to tea in an Engliish home; we witness the mercurial changes that take place in young love, and we watch as a bohemian, passionate past returns to tempt domestic bliss.

Headed into Dorsey today, first up Sidmouth. #VirtualTour

How was Friday? Strange 24 hours after vaccination. Last night shivers and aches all over. Today no aches but two spells of shivers again. Known for always having hot hands but in middle of today they were cold. Then hour later felt fine. Now just very tired. Trouble sleeping last night.Three productive meetings today. Then made two people‘s weekends by offering them permanent contracts.

IamIamIam Hope you feel better quickly! It's totally worth it! I'm scheduled for my first on April 14th. Being a public government employee has more benefits than great insurance! 4y
