I’m re-reading Blue Remembered Hills - the memoirs of Rosemary Sutcliff - aptly covered in cornflower cloth and gorgeously published by @slightlyfoxed.bsky.social. A perfect tonic for our times - an utterly compelling autobiography. What should I read next?

Edith Pargeter wrote a bunch of novels in several genres before she became famous for her Brother Cadfael mysteries as Ellis Peters...

Have you read 'Giving up the Ghost' by Hilary Mantel?

I think it's a very fine book.

Oh, that sounds like the perfect escape. If you want another gorgeously written memoir full of landscape and longing, try Laurie Lee's Cider with Rosie.
