Someone at a Distance | Dorothy Whipple, Nina Bawden

Pickpick

The September Raising the Middlebrow Book Club selection on Goodreads. My second Whipple and I rather enjoyed it! I couldn‘t stop myself from some comparison to the play/movie “The Women”. I kept picturing the main character Ellen as Norma Shearer. It‘s a look at a happy family and marriage where infidelity takes place. The ending was unsatisfactory but I might say the same for “The Women” depending where your sympathies lie.

A Pin to See the Peep Show | Fryniwyd Tennyson Jesse

Pickpick

June Goodreads “Raising the Middlebrow Book Club” selection. I couldn‘t put it down! Initially it felt like a slow go but I ended up completely absorbed. The writing was fantastic. Tennyson Jesse talks about class, women in the workforce, wages, marital bedroom rights, abortion, the legal system and its treatment of women, fidelity, adultery, and fulfillment-in several nuances. So much to discuss!

LeahBergen I‘m looking forward to this one! 3y
Jess_Read_This @LeahBergen It was a great read and I really enjoyed Tennyson Jesse‘s writing. It was my first by her. And we are discussing the Edith Thompson case that inspired the novel. I‘ve got Delafield‘s Messalina of the Suburbs on deck next to compare which was also inspired by the Thompson case. But Pin to See the Peepshow has so much discussion worthy material! 3y

Jess_Read_This @rubyslippersreads Thank you! They came from a vintage French fashion magazine (or so the Etsy seller told me lol) They were sold as book marks but I prop them up on my bookshelf. 3y
LeahBergen I‘m even more intrigued now! And that‘s one of the Delafield‘s I‘ve yet to hunt down (and I‘m a BIG fan). 😊 3y
