I thought she was wonderful, especially when being taken out for dinner and bee no allowed a glass of wine with water - she said that all Italian children drank it that way - I was 10. She was amazing, have very fond memories of her.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339722787664167577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-45820272274715535392013-01-22T18:43:26.737-08:002013-01-22T18:43:26.737-08:00Looks like this was a sort of Anthony Gilbert week...Looks like this was a sort of Anthony Gilbert week for us!, Neer!<br /><br />Christianna Brand is an enjoyable mystery writer and her reminiscences are fascinating, though catty and rather egocentric, I think. She may well have been the belle of the Detection Club, but her comments about other members could sometimes be a bit cruel.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-74619829519482335982013-01-22T17:59:26.471-08:002013-01-22T17:59:26.471-08:00What a coincidence!

A couple more are in the pipeline.<br /><br />I am intrigued by that 'interesting new material'.

Portrait of a Murderer really impressed me. When I talked to people who knew her well, they were clearly extremely fond of her, and presented a much more positive picture than did Christianna Brand in her fascinating but perhaps in some respects unreliable account of life in the Detection Club.
