I just saw your comment on Laura's blog where you mentioned you don't have a copy of Excellent Women. I have a spare Virago copy and wondered if you'd like me to send it to you?

I'm so happy you were pleased with your books. I really enjoyed searching your library and deciding what to choose. As I've said, the problem was what to leave out!
Wishing you all the best and a happy book-filled new year!

I just read your review of my favorite Persephone, Manja. I think that book started me on my 1930's kick. Beautiful review. I wrote one, too, with much the same praise for the book. It is somewhere among my Librarything reviews, but damned if I remember the date.
At least it looks as though the weather has improved in London...

Just a message to thank you again for the book and note - Elizabeth Taylor is so highly recommended here that I'm really looking forward to immersing myself in her work.
Thanks again!

I want to see the Hay haul so I can be pea green with envy! Are you going back to the Hay Festival in May? I just purused the guests, WOW! Expensive but worth it>

you are so welcome. I really liked that one though it is a bit different. But then
all Viragoes are. I hope you enjoy it.
love,

And, of course, you MUST get to the bookstores. They are all within easy walking distance from the train. Oxfam and British Heart Association are on Sheep Street, the Blue Cross store is opposite the Birthplace, and the great Sue Ryder store is just a block from the American Fountain and Market Square. Maybe you could do a Saturday trip sometime; not as large as hay, but a lot closer.
I'd consider June in Oxford, but the airfares this summer are unreal, what with the Jubilee and the Olympics. But in two years, maybe? We should charter a bus to take the Viragoites to Hay!
Elaine
PS. How's the weather??

I just read your message in the Virago group and your LT name struck a chord. I started blogging in 2007 and your LiveJournal page was one of the first I followed (I was also on LJ at the time, but have since moved to WordPress). It's nice to see you here!
