A springtime read from 1935 and I‘m really enjoying it!
Lady Kilmichael, a renowned artist, leaves her remote husband and adult children to go on a painting trip to the Dalmatian coast without telling any of them her whereabouts. While there she ends up taking under her wing an unhappy young man whose family has forbidden him to pursue his art. Methinks love is in the air!
(I‘m also intrigued by this peek at what would later become Croatia).

MemoirsForMe This story reminds me of Anne Tyler‘s Ladder of Years. Enjoy! 📖 3w
LeahBergen @MemoirsForMe I just read the plot summary and it does seem similar! I‘ll keep an eye out for that one at the bookstore (or big used book sale we have coming up in my city 😆). 3w
MemoirsForMe It‘s a great book, though your protagonist may be luckier in love.🤭Those big used book sales are so much fun. Our annual one here is in Sept. Even if they are detrimental to my shelf space. 🤦🏻♀️ 3w
LeahBergen @MemoirsForMe I try to have a bit of a shelf “clear out” before the big sales come up as I usually come home with a box full! 😆 3w

LeahBergen @Bookbuyingaddict I really enjoyed it! I guess it‘s popularity and success started a later travel boom in Croatia. 5d
