Blueroseis That's odd. I had never come across the word Persephone before this week and yet it has cropped up twice within a few days. I've just finished reading 'A Study In Murder' by Callie Hutton and her dog in the story was called Persephone. 6d

Cathythoughts Beautiful post .. book looks and sounds great. 💕💕💕💕💕 6d

LeahBergen @Tamra @Becker @jlhammar @Cathythoughts And the bookmark/endpaper choice for this one is so pretty! 6d

LeahBergen @Blueroseis Isn‘t it funny how that happens? 😄 6d

Jess_Read_This Lovely post! I haven‘t read any of their short stories collections. It sounds like I‘m missing out! 1d

LeahBergen @Jess_Read_This They‘re a nice way of trying authors that you haven‘t got to yet! 23h

They Knew Mr. Knight | Dorothy Whipple

pick

Dorothy Whipple is always an enjoyable read and this one was no exception. As the afterword states, it‘s a “comforting middle-class drama” but I also found it quite suspenseful due to the titular villain, Mr. Knight. It had the feel of a 1930s Rosamunde Pilcher, if that makes sense? 😆

What did you think, #PersephoneClub ?

CarolynM I‘m finding it a bit hard to get into. Probably more about me than the book. 1mo

Cathythoughts I did really love it, and got totally caught up in the story. This would be a reread for me. But I confess to watching the film and then slacking off on the reread … I‘m dipping in and out ❤️ and Yes , definitely suspenseful due to Mr Knight ! (edited) 1mo

andrew61 I enjoyed it as well, leah. The characters are all well drawn including the villainous mr knight. You can't go wrong with dorothy. 1mo

daena I‘m moving slow, because life. But enjoying it nonetheless. Very intrigued by Mr.Knight, and even more so now by his villany! 1mo

Tamra I‘m still in the middle and enjoying it. She fleshes out her characters well and there is a bit of a snarky undertone I appreciate. It isn‘t an entirely a cozy domestic novel. 1mo

rubyslippersreads I‘m behind, as usual. 😏 1mo

LeahBergen @CarolynM I hope it improves for you but if not, oh well! We should enjoy our reading. 😘 1mo

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I‘m looking forward to setting some time aside to check out the film! 1mo

LeahBergen @andrew61 Yes! Her characters really are so well-drawn. 1mo

LeahBergen @daena My life‘s been a bit intrusive into my reading time lately, too. 😆 1mo

LeahBergen @Tamra It‘s a tad cozy in setting but I felt dread from the beginning. 😆 1mo

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads 😆 Oh, well! 1mo

quietjenn I'm with @rubyslippersreads and @daena and have quit a bit left to go! 1mo

LeahBergen @quietjenn It‘s a bit of a Persephone chunkster! 1mo

Aimeesue Still working my way through this one. I do love Whipple, but I‘m stuck in the cloister with the reluctant nun! Both are gripping me at different times! 1mo

LeahBergen @Aimeesue Haha! You‘ll have to share your reading time between the two, I guess. 😆 1mo

jlhammar I‘m not very far in, but enjoying it so far. Eager to get back to it. My April reading has not been going to plan! Will hopefully still finish by the end of the month. 1mo

LeahBergen @jlhammar Mine hasn‘t been going as planned either. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

Cheerful Weather for the Wedding | Julia Frances Strachey

“I think it astonishingly good - complete and sharp an individual” Virginia Woolf

I had always loved the movie and I finally read the book and now I‘m re-watching the movie. They‘re both perfect.

LeahBergen I can‘t believe I‘ve never seen the movie! 10mo

Cuilin @LeahBergen it‘s very good. They change the timeline a little and you‘ll recognize every actor. 10mo

William - an Englishman. | Cicely Hamilton

I was out of town this past weekend and (naturally) found a secondhand bookshop. Lo and behold, I found two #PersephoneBooks that look unread and still have their matching bookmarks.

The truly amazing thing is that I own about 75 Persephone books BUT NOT THESE TWO. 😆
