Family Roundabout
Family Roundabout | Richmal Crompton
4 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Set in the year 1948, this novel is about the life of two families during the inter-war years. Instead of seeing William at odds with adults, we are shown the matriarchs around whom their families spin; but whether they direct their children gently or forcefully, in the end they have to accept them as they are.

Here are my two suggestions for next year‘s February read. The first is tagged, I‘ll tag the second one in the comments.

Cathythoughts I‘m liking the look of the tagged book. It gets my vote 👍🏻 1mo
LeahBergen Nice choices! I‘ve read (and really enjoyed) Family Roundabout so I‘ll vote for (edited) 1mo

elkeOriginal I have been wanting to read Good Evening! 1mo
rubyslippersreads I‘d be happy with either, but I‘ve been wanting to read 1mo
quietjenn I've read the short stories, so vote for 1mo
Bookbuyingaddict Oohh again two great choices and I‘d be happy with either but think 🤔 il vote for Family Roundabout 👍😀 1mo
elkeOriginal @LeahBergen @CarolynM Looks like this one needs a tie-breaker to decide it! 1mo
LeahBergen @elkeOriginal @CarolynM I think we‘ll wait a little longer (until @Gissy responds) and then in the event of a tie we‘ll let the original poster break the tie. Is that okay? 1mo
elkeOriginal Sounds good! I forgot how ties are dealt with. So many close races! 1mo
LeahBergen Okay, Carolyn … it looks like we‘ll need you to tiebreak this one. 😆 Which one do you pick? 3w
CarolynM @LeahBergen This is why it‘s good to be the nominator, you don‘t have to choose just one😆 You‘ve read one and @quietjenn has read the other so that doesn‘t help. Coin flip says (edited) 3w
LeahBergen 😆😆 The coin flip is always the best way! I‘ll get our schedule up soon. 3w
LeahBergen And the winner is Family Roundabout! 3w

My ‘currently reading‘ stack.

I‘ve hit upon a good combination here: a biography, a Persephone, and some vintage children‘s lit. 😊
