Who would suspect her sense of fun and irony, of a passionate love for beauty and the power to drag it from its hidden places?' For twenty years Hannah Mole, a farmer's daughter, has earned her living as a nursery governess or companion to a succession of difficult elderly women. Now aged forty, a thin shabby figure, she returns to

My #bookspin stack for May. Mostly recent purchases that have been cluttering my nightstand. (Rodham has replaced The Sea, The Sea as the book that will not go away.😆) There are 15 here. The remaining five will be #netgalley titles. @TheAromaofBooks

In Portland, Maine for an overnight and just happened to find a used bookstore around the corner from the hotel. The lighting was terrible but still managed to find a few things. 😅

LeahBergen I loved Miss Mole! It‘s a slow start (for me anyway) so give it a little time. 2y

I‘m currently reading this 1930 oldie that has just been republished by #FurrowedMiddlebrow and #DeanStreetPress today.

Miss Mole has spent 20 years of her life as a companion to old women when she accepts a housekeeper position with a pompous minister and his needy children. I‘m liking Hannah Mole so far; she‘s cheekier and wiser than she lets on and I think she‘ll be turning this house around in no time!

erzascarletbookgasm Oh yes, I saw DSP has reprinted 6 titles this month. This one sounds promising 👍 4y
LeahBergen @erzascarletbookgasm It started off a bit slow for me (the first two chapters) but then I very quickly got into it after that. I‘m so looking forward to the other books being published this month! 4y
CarolynM Sounds good. Another one for the stack. 4y
LeahBergen @CarolynM I‘m really warming to Miss Mole! It took me a little while to get into the writing style/subtle humour of this book but it‘s worth it. 4y
