Virago Modern Classics discussion

Write here which book would you like to read in June.
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:
Challenge by Vita Sackville-West
The Doves of Venus by Olivia Manning
Mrs Miniver by Jan Struther
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 have only just realized that in February I forgot to vote for the book that I myself had proposed and I apologize! 😞
I would like to nominate Devoted Ladies by Molly Keane.

I nominate Heartburn by Nora Ephron.

I nominate The Spoilt Kill: A Staffordshire Mystery by Mary Kelly.

My nomination: Sisters by a River by Barbara Comyns

So, the nominations for June 2024 are as follows:

Devoted Ladies by Molly Keane
Heartburn by Nora Ephron
The Spoilt Kill by Mary Kelly
Sisters by a River by Barbara Comyns

The poll will appear soon.

Had no idea that Virago had a separate crime classics list

Yes. And there are quite a few crime/mystery novels on the VMC list too.
