Maybe one for another day.grimwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150168436753680867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-31095942236718475742015-01-24T22:15:22.539-08:002015-01-24T22:15:22.539-08:00I read a few Miss Silver books when I was younger ...I read a few Miss Silver books when I was younger and I want to try some more now and see what I think.

The ...Incidentally, this makes my sixth Wentworth. The others are, in order read:<br /><br />Latter End<br />The Chinese Shawl<br />Miss Silver Deals with Death (Miss Silver Intervenes)<br />Eternity Ring<br />Miss Silver Comes to Stay<br />The Watersplash<br /><br />My favorite still is Miss Silver Comes to Stay, which I put on my top 20 for last year. I also liked the other book with Miss Silver in the title, although the ending seemed confusing (though I now realize it links with some of her non-Silver books). Watersplash would be next. Didn't like the other three much.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-53765354736617043112015-01-24T10:13:55.424-08:002015-01-24T10:13:55.424-08:00She repeats two specific elements from earlier boo...She repeats two specific elements from earlier books in this one (genteel woman dependent threatened with eviction from lodge, servant with legacy foolishly marrying younger man after her money), but I felt all the elements, recycled or not, fit together enjoyably, dare I say soothingly. I'm planning to look at one of her thrillers from the 1930s and see how much it differs from these 40s/50s village cozies.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-31023518675191332882015-01-24T06:41:10.112-08:002015-01-24T06:41:10.112-08:00I think I read this years ago, but have absolutely...I think I read this years ago, but have absolutely no memory of it - and your précis of the cast and plot doesn't help because it would roughly fit many of her books! But nice review, and I like the way you bring out what is enjoyable about the books. I like to read one now and then, but wouldn't want to read them one after another.
