#OffMyShelf “Cover Buy”

A little stretch to make this fit the category. I bought it knowing nothing about it because of the EDITION rather than the cover. It matches my other books by Fitzgerald …

Fitzgerald‘s novels are short but challenging/perplexing. I enjoy the work but it takes a while to finish. This is about a run down theater school for children in London. It‘s sad in a shabby, melancholy way. The end was open, but rather chilling.

At Freddie's | Penelope Fitzgerald

#WhereAteYouMonday

Today I‘m in 1960s London in the theater world and The Temple Stage School run by the larger than life Ms. Freddie Wentworth. The school feeds the local theaters‘ need for child actors while nominally educating and training them and remaining barely solvent. This is Penelope Fitzgerald, so there‘s a lot required of the reader to catch nuance.
