REVIEW: The House by the Marsh
Dec. 19th, 2010 02:20 pmI have a habit of reading completely unseasonal books. I read this book before the snow first fell, but even so, the contrast between what was going on around me and the opening segment of this book was pretty stark.
The House By the Marsh: M. E. Allan Dent 1966
( 'Somehow Norfolk sounded cold and bleak,' said Tam, as they disentangled themselves from the back seat. 'I never thought it would be like this.' The sun was, in fact, extremely hot on the weed-grown gravel sweep before the front door, bees were busy in the overgrown masses of roses, phlox, marguerites, and stocks, and the big house basked in sunny peace. )
I saw that Greyladies has published Allan's only book for adults, which has a similar setting and is on my list to get/read.
