Virago Modern Classics discussion

Write here which book would you like to read in May.
The full list of VMC books you can find on our to-read shelf.

For the sake of diversity, please don't nominate books from previous poll, that is:
Illyrian Spring by Ann Bridge
The Group by Mary McCarthy
Ann Veronica by H.G. Wells
You will be able to nominate them again after a month.

Take also a look at our buddy-reads for this year. Please, do not nominate these books too, you can read them with us as a buddy-read.

You can nominate 1 or 2 books. The rest of the rules you can find here.

I nominate Challenge by Vita Sackville-West.

I would like to read a book by Olivia Manning (I haven't read by the author anything yet), so I nominate The Doves of Venus because I have it on my shelf, next to my desk. ;-)

No more nominations?

If there will be no more by the end of this week I will add some of those that had the most votes in previous polls.

I nominate Palladian by Elizabeth Taylor.

I'd like to nominate Mrs Miniver by Jan Struther. I've had it on my shelf for ages.

So, the nominations for May 2024 are as follows:

Challenge by Vita Sackville-West
The Doves of Venus by Olivia Manning
Palladian by Elizabeth Taylor
Mrs Miniver by Jan Struther

The poll will appear soon.
