Sara’s review of New Grub Street > Likes and Comments

Yay! I'm so glad but not surprised that you enjoyed this. And what a marvelous review you've written. I love your analysis of these characters, and agree on every point. Here's to more Gissing!

Fully fleshed characters are this reader's dream :) And the number of important questions this book raised for you makes it even more appealing to me. Superb review, Sara!

My thanks to you for the gentle shove! I hope to get to two more of his books next year. I have them both penciled in.

I suspect you would love this, Candi. It had that added element of being about authors, which was very interesting to me. It seems getting into the hands of a publisher was always a bit based on who you know.

I loved The Odd Women when I read it years ago. I have this one on my shelf.

I think The Odd Women is the next Gissing for me, Diane. I definitely like his style. You should take this one off the shelf!

Fantastic review, Sara. You are making me add another book!! I have a feeling it will not be easy to find.

Great review, Sara! It sounds like I should have picked this one up.
