... I have received the following: My Brillian Career by Miles Franklin Told by an Idiot by Rose Macaulay All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West Saraband by Eliot Biss The Lost Traveller by Antonia White The Gentlewomen by Laura Talbot Devoted Ladies ...

... this year. It feels a bit like a Gothic novel then it goes another direction. Ah Mary I am so glad you are enjoying All Passion Spent.

I recommend All Passion Spent. The prose is poetic and wise. My lovely copy (courtesy of Marensr and alubalibri) is now completely marked up with my underlings and musings. My favorite quotation is a follows: "Man has founded his calculations upon a mathematical system fundamentally false. ...

urania, isn't All Passion Spent wonderful? I read it recently myself ... just superb. I'm now reading The Well of Loneliness for Banned Books Week. This is a Virago Modern Classic and, while very melancholy, it's wonderfully written and I'm hooked.

A new month, a new thread. I'm reading Vita Sackville-West's All Passion Spent. I'm also about halfway through Emma Tennant's The Autobiography of the Queen. All Passion Spent is terrific. Thus far, I'm less amused by Tennants book than I thought I would be.

Just in thanks to Maren and bunnyb: All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West Wayward Girls and Wicked Women by Angela Carter I'm so excited.

Hmm I recently finished All Passion Spent - i know sounds like a romance novel but it is about an 80 year old woman- brilliant book, A woman of independent means, which was an epistorlary imagining of a the life of a woman between the turn of the century and the 1960s, and Banana Yoshimoto's ...

... a non-virago A Woman of Independent Means (from a dear LTer) which was quite satisfying although not quite as much as All Passion Spent. I am pondering which book I want to read next in the midst of my research reading.

I added All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West but can't tick it off the Tracker.

My bookmooched All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West arrived today/

Please Ms. Maren, may I have All Passion Spent.

Okay I am quite a ninny for not taking my Virago list with me to the UK so that I bought All Passion Spent because which had been graciously sent to my by Paola in the Dial Press version. (I was also a bit agog in a town of books anyway) I am afraid the copy I got in Hay-on-Wye has a bent cover ...

... I guess I'd say my top 5 were: Out Stealing Horses Mosquito The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society All Passion Spent Purple Hibiscus

I just read All Passion Spent, too, Maren. It's a wonderful book, isn't it? And quite before its time I think ...

Oops it didn't seem to post and then there were two posts.

Hmm all the threads seem to turn to headgehogs now. I am reading All Passion Spent which I picked up in Hay-on-Wye. It is wonderful. I am also finding it very evocative now that I have seen some of the places Lady Slane mentions and although I am not the age of Lady Slane I am finding her ...

... them and decided not to, right? 2. I have the Virago Omnibus II which is not a VMC but it contains three novels which are: All Passion Spent, The Return of the Soldier and Two Days in Aragon. No. 221 in the spreadsheet is "Omnibus" - this must be another book (maybe the first Omnibus, which ...

I finished All Passion Spent last night and really loved it. Quite a powerful ending, at least for me. Will be reading non-Viragos for my next few reads ...

I'm reading All Passion Spent and am completely impressed and enthralled. What a wonderful piece of feminist literature, and so before its time ... !

#184, I hope you enjoy All Passion Spent - I loved it! I'm started Good Behaviour by Molly Keane and think I'm going to really like it.

I'm going to start All Passion Spent later today. I have really been looking forward to reading this book!

I just got All Passion Spent Thank you Paola! My work has been a rather wretched place all week and this was a balm waiting for me when I got home tonight.

48. All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West

#49 There were two very reasonably priced copies of All Passion Spent at my "best" bookstore. I'll pick one up for you next time I stop in if they are still there; I won't be going back for a week or two.

... I did not have the time to scan them. I just took a look at my catalogue and found that, for example, my three editions of All Passion Spent have now a cover, wheras before two of them did not, and for the reasons stated above. I do not like it, and would realy appreciate it if the choice of ...

I have a duplicate of All Passion Spent. I will send it anywhere in the world, but it will have to be by slow surface mail if it leaves Europe. It's a proper green Virago - 1990 reprint of the 1983 edition. The edges are quite worn and the pages are tanned but the binding and eveything else ...

One more from BookMooch: All Passion Spent by Vita Scakville-West

There is a Masterpiece Theater production of All Passion Spent with Dame Wendy Hiller that I enjoyed watching recently. Netflix has it.

Last year, I didn't shoot for 50, and came in at 39 in a slow-reading year. This year, I'm going for 50! #1 All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West (January). My first reading from the Virago collection, this book was thoroughly entertaining and at the ...

I'm just finishing All Passion Spent and am really enjoying it, so I'd definitely recommend it too. And thanks to everyone for all the books they've mentioned here - my bookmooch wish list has just got a lot bigger!

I'm just about to finish All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West. I'm really enjoying it. The caricatures of Lady Slane's odious children are very amusing. And I like the idea that at 88 years old, you can still surprise people and be surprised. Next on the list: probably something by Pa ...

I loved Vita Sackville-West's All Passion Spent. You can't go wrong there. And, if you can find it, there was a lovely BBC adaptation in 1986, with Dame Wendy Hiller.

When listed by title, a few that are kind of amusing: All Passion Spent next to All that Katy Did, Don Quixote next to A Donkey in the Meadow, Gossip from Thrush Green next to Gotta Find Me an Angel. But my favourite, guess it's a Canadian thing... Mackenzie King next to "The Madma ...
