I’m only half way through this book but it is already hilarious, feminist and features a woman deciding to take herself off to live in the countryside. ‘For the first time she was looking at the intricate landscape of rounded hills and scooped valleys which she had chosen for learning by heart’. This takes me back to the first time I walked up from the little station to what is now my own home. Written in the 1920s, this book is an amalgamation of all my favourite things and is the first one this year that has me itching to dive back in and reluctant to leave. I’m submitting it for #haymeaningoflife (which I sadly can’t attend) because this little book has reminded me why I’m a reader and how much of yourself is to be found in words laid down before even your grandparents were born. Also because I keep accidentally saying things like ‘I shouldn’t ought to’ and ‘frightfully’ #frightfullygood #whatajollyromp #strongfemaleleads
