Clarissa, or The History of a Young Lady, Volume 3 by Samuel Richardson
pickMaxwell does not disappoint. His prose is so seemingly simple and yet transports me to wherever he wants me to go. I fell in love with 8 year old Bunny from the beginning and didn‘t want it to end.
Just started the tagged book. I love Maxwell‘s prose! Also reading Pickwick Papers (❤️ Dickens‘ wicked sense of humor) Romeo and Juliet (❤️ the banter and word play) The Church Cracked Open (lots to think about in this one) and volume 3 of Kristin Lavransdatter (vivid depictions of medieval Norway.)
Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView Want to play @Lynnsoprano @TheBookHippie ?
pickLovely, lyrical family story in the time of Armistice and the Spanish Flu. Maxwell had a delicate touch with words and characters. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
This is the second novel by William Maxwell I've read, the first being "So Long, See You Tomorrow" (1980). “They Came Like Swallows" (1937) is set in a Midwestern town during the 1918 flu epidemic.

@DarcysMom Care to join in if you haven‘t already? Just post 7 covers you love over 7 days, no explanation needed.
I just finished the tagged book last week, very much enjoyed it. A silent, beautiful book. I find the sky on the cover very appealing.
