Happy that I've found where in Wimbledon Hilde Spiel lived, that my unfavourable feelings about Graham Greene are only strengthened by this book, and that my interest in Bowen and Macaulay continues. I'm also enjoying the sense of life in wartime neutral Ireland. I understand why they adopted neutrality, but ... still!

My interest is flagging a bit, so I will leave off for awhile and return later in September.
I agree with a GR friend that applying the fictional writings of these authors as direct accounts of their lives is a strange and unreliable historical method, even if it is enjoyable reading.
