Book: The Journal of Dora Damage by Belinda Starling
- A first novel by Belinda Starling, who unfortunately died before the book was published. This facinating and quirky book evokative and detailed about Victorian life, the book binding business and the restrictions around pornography in its infancy was a fascinating. A complete page turner that most of us read very quickly.
- Marks out of 10 - 9 was the norm. Single word descriptions:
- Giles - uniquely binding
- Mandy - liberating
- Rowena - spellbinding
- etc etc. After that things degenerated to a rather drunken level. I know that I didn't feel that good this morning!! Don't know about the others.
Next book:
- Our Man in Havana by Grahame Greene
Mandy also recommends:
- Amazing Disgrace by James Hamilton-Paterson
