And I can heartily recommend her first two novels, <i>Lolly Willowes</i> and <i>Mr Fortune's Maggot</i>. I found out my library has some of her later novels, I plan to read them as a summer project (awaiting the NYRB edition of <i>Summer Will Show</i>).<br /><br />Hope you'll enjoy STW as much as I do!_lethe_noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246709.post-82131685876100909272009-07-02T10:58:34.949-04:002009-07-02T10:58:34.949-04:00Ooo, Jessica, I feel you: I have learned to travel...Ooo, Jessica, I feel you: I have learned to travel more lightly when flying and I thank my stars that I could fly to Seattle w/o car seat or stroller for the first time!!!<br /><br />But we drove upstate, so it was just a matter of cramming the car.
