No trip is complete without a bit of literature…
1. A sampler of Greer’s Villa Coco…If I like it, I’ll buy the whole e-book.
2. Originally published in 1917, Summer is the “hot” version of Wharton’s Ethan Frome…and just like in Ethan Frome, it features a forbidden romance for your crying pleasure.
3. Set in the Western Frontier at the turn of the 20th century, A Lost Lady tells the story of a society woman who falls from grace. (Why is it always a woman falling from grace?)
4. Set in Oxfordshire from the start of WWI until the ealry 1930s, Hostages to Fortune delicately chronicles the disappointment (and somtimes glory) of rural family life. Read a sample of it below.
