London 1930. Nevis marries Simon. Nevis questions everything as we journey with her through her marriage & her relationship with her N. Y. Publisher Marcus who says “ you write as naturally as you breathe”.. and so does M Panter-Downes. I wonder how much of the authors own story echoes in this book. Nevis has a tenderness, a goodness & a beauty to her. How often in life we want to go back , but we can‘t really go back because we are different 👇🏻

Cathythoughts 👆🏻People by then. A thought provoking book for me. I found myself looking up TS Eliot poetry .. “we shall not cease from exploration , and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time “… Loved this book ❤️ ( pic of our first hyacinths, hopefully to smell nice for Christmas) (edited) 3y

batsy Beautiful review, Cathy! That Eliot line from "Little Gidding" ? 3y

Cathythoughts @batsy Yes , from Little Gidding… and there were more Eliot quotes that came to me , but just not enough space to fit them all 👍🏻❤️ 3y

Ruthiella One Fine Day is amazing. A perfect but short novel where “nothing happens” but interiorly everything happens. Ever since I‘ve been meaning to read more from her! 3y

Cathythoughts @Ruthiella Oh that‘s good to hear .. she‘s a lovely writer ( Simon is my first, but I‘m quite taken with her ) now I‘m looking even more forward to

One Fine Day
