Possession | Celia Fremlin

pick

Another beaut from Celia Fremlin , complete with creepy dolls. Clare Erskines daughter Sarah is engaged to an accountant, Mother is very pleased, at last a solid , respectable lad, or is he ? And is his possessive mother pleased?! Taking an interesting look at mothers influences over their children. Couldn‘t put this down.

Possession | Celia Fremlin

This is probably the best (and most excessive) usage of the “cover blurb” that I‘ve ever seen. 😆

(I keep wanting to say “that‘s what he said” after each one 😆😆).

What do you think @Cathythoughts and @Tamra ? This one features a pathologically obsessed mother whose darling boy has just become engaged. Yikes!

jlhammar Wow, I‘ve never seen a cover like that! That is some fantastic blurbing. You all are making me want to try Fremlin sooner rather than later. 2y

Ruthiella Whew! 😅 I need a cold shower and a cigarette after reading those blurbs! 😆 2y

Tamra Oh yes! 😵 We might need to start a Fremlin club! 2y

Tamra @jlhammar I‘ve only read one and I can‘t wait for the next I‘ve ordered from the library. (edited) 2y

vivastory I'm still waiting for the book this year that will give me, "A frenzy of tension" 2y

BarbaraBB 😂😂 2y

Cathythoughts Oh yes ! Sounds like a good one Leah. I‘ll be getting that next. She‘ll write a great story on that theme 😳 2y

erzascarletbookgasm @Tamra Fremlin club sounds great! But my library has no Fremlin! 😢 And her books are not easily available over here. 2y

erzascarletbookgasm Never seen a cover like that! Eye catching! 2y

Amiable That cover is to-die-for! (See what I did there? 😀 … That‘s what he said. 😉) (edited) 2y

batsy Excellent cover! It seems to cover all the bases 😂 2y

Tamra @erzascarletbookgasm 😭 2y

Tamra @Amiable 😉 2y

LeahBergen @jlhammar I hope you like her when you do! 😊 2y

LeahBergen @Ruthiella 😂 2y

LeahBergen @Tamra I think we already have an unofficial one! 😆 2y

LeahBergen @vivastory Me, too! 😆 2y

LeahBergen @BarbaraBB 😁 2y

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I think she will, too! 2y

LeahBergen @erzascarletbookgasm They‘re a bit tricky to find (which is a shame). 2y

LeahBergen @Amiable 😆😆 2y

LeahBergen @batsy All the bases, indeed. 😆 2y

Cathythoughts @Tamra I think a Fremlin Club is a great idea. As you say Leah , we kind of do have an unofficial one. I just counted 23 books ( including short stories and poetry ) … and I would gladly reread the ones I‘ve already read. Something to think about ! Meanwhile let‘s see .. the unofficial group may gather momentum 😁 2y

Tamra @Cathythoughts @LeahBergen true! I am all for it, official or unofficial. 2y

Aimeesue “It grips like grim death!!” That‘s excellent. 😂 2y

sarahbarnes Omg…”that‘s what she said”. 😂😂😂 2y

Suet624 This post is fantastic. The book sounds great. 2y
