It deals with three generations of women. I enjoyed it very much and would like to find more books by her. I then jump to 1928 and As Far as Grandmother’s which, as reported earlier, I was lucky enough to find at the market just when Edith Olivier had swum into my ken.
But his style is so convoluted! It seems old-fashioned for its time (he died in 1834) and he’s harder to read than, say, Boswell, who was writing much earlier. Some of his writing is delightful so whimsical and opinionated, that you have to love him. I still can’t make up my mind about Lamb.
The oldest book (by publication date) which I finished recently was Charles Lamb’s Last Essays of Elia.
