My Beloved is so good that I could fly through it and finish by tomorrow morning! I’ve decided to take my time, though. I’m taking notes and adding to a Spotify playlist as I go, and I’m absolutely savoring every word. Hopefully I’ll finish in time to discuss it with the Mitford Book Club in January!

Rereading is even better than reading it the first time. I love discussing each chapter with the www.MitfordBookClub.com. Here is part of my contribution about chapter 113, Helene, pages 337-341: “I love their decision to share the angel! It seems to me that it will be something to look forward to every year- one year the joy of wrapping and presenting it, and the next, the joy of receiving it.”

I’m rereading with the Mitford Book Club (Facebook group) and adding my comments about writers, literary references, and mentions of music in every chapter. Considering that there are 137 chapters this may take a while!
