The Reinvention of Love

The Reinvention of Love | Helen Humphreys

Beautiful Saturday afternoon = #bookhaul7 and a cup of tea at The Art Warehouse (where my son works). Two graphic novels for my classroom and two books for me from my local second hand bookstore.

merelybookish It is a beautiful Saturday! And I love the Art Warehouse. 2y

BookNAround @romanceaddict We in the South like to pretend it‘s fall with pumpkin stuff but temperature-wise it‘s still summer, more‘s the pity! 6y

The Reinvention of Love | Helen Humphreys

#agameoffavorites (or favourites 😉)

This is Helen Humphreys. Her historical fiction is absolutely beautiful, often finding a story to treasure within a well-covered time (see: any of her WWII stories). But this one, about an unconventional love affair between Adele Hugo and Charles Saint-Beuve, captured my mind and heart.

TheKidUpstairs Humphreys' most re-read books are As I Lay Dying, and Frankenstein because: "They are both superb books in their own right, and also excellent stories about grief and grieving." Humphreys visited one of my classes in Uni, and she raved to me about Mary Lawson's Crow Lake. Bad reader that I am, I still haven't read it, but it has an eternal spot on my TBR. Someday I WILL grab a copy and read it!
