No Surrender by Constance Elizabeth Maud

K is for KAY SMALLSHAW, author of ‘How to Run Your Home Without Help. My kind of generous Virago Secret Santa sent me two Persephone books from my wishlist, and her memoir ‘Maman What Are We Called Now?’ was one of them. I loved following a young woman’s journey to India in ‘The Far Cry’ by Emma Smith. H is for HOSTAGES TO FORTUNE by Elizabeth Cambridge was one of the best books that I read last year. My copy of ‘Madame Solario’ is sitting on my bedside table, and I hope it won’t be too long before I to find the time read it. I have an old edition, and it is one of a small collection of books that I chose to sit on top of my Persephone Bookcase.į is for FRANKIE BARNABY, the young narrator who finds that she has much to learn in ‘Hetty Dorval’ by Ethel Wilson.

‘Despised and Rejected’ by Rose Allatini, ‘Young Anne’ by Dorothy Whipple and ‘Tory Heaven’ by Marghanita Laski will all be published in April.ĭ is for DOROTHY CANFIELD FISHER, one of a select bank of authors to be published by both Virago and Persephone.Į is for EARTH AND HIGH HEAVEN by Gwethalyn Graham. This will probably be the next Persephone book I read, as I need a book from 1858 for my ‘100 Years of Books’ project.ī is for BIANNUALLY. It is always a red-letter day when the latest Persephone Biannually arrives, with articles, short stories, reviews, events, so much to peruse.Ĭ is for COMING SOON.

I might get there in time but, just in case I don’t, I thought I would do what I often do at times like this.Ī is for AMOURS DE VOYAGE by Arthur Clough. What I lack is time to think and write about them. I’ve been reading Margaret Oliphant, I’m reading Amber Reeves, and I may fit in another books before the Persephone Readathon hosted by Jessie Dwell in Possibility draws to a close.
