Here’s a new idea: what have you been reading that you would suggest to others? Valerie Wallace sent a recommendation for the new year. Here’s her brief review for Robert Harris’ Precipice:
I have just finished a fascinating novel called Precipice by Robert Harris which might interest other Kendal Readers. Here is my capsule review: Precipice by Robert Harris is a “take-your-breath-away” novel based on the correspondence of H. H. Asquith (the British PM at the start of WWI ) and his mistress. He had a very casual attitude about copies of Top Secret documents and government discussions about the conduct of the war. Spoiler alert to fans of W.Churchill: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. Can you say Dardanelles? Gallipoli?
I think other history-minded residents will find the book fascinating. It is a novel but solidly researched.
