Pure Juliet
Pure Juliet | Stella Gibbons
4 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
Never before published, the lost novel by the bestselling author of"Cold Comfort Farm." Creepy. Peculiar. Fairy. Goblin. Liar. Weirdo. Crank. Genius. No one knows what to make of Juliet Slater, not even her mother. And clothes, boys, school, friends, the changing seasons and what other people think - none of these things seem to matter to Juliet. She spends hours in her room with incomprensible mathematical text books, her mind voyaging in strange seas of thought, alone. Is she a genius? It might take the rest of her life to find out. While Stella Gibbons was celebrated for her beloved bestseller"Cold Comfort Farm," the manuscript for"Pure Juliet"lay unseen and forgotten until it was brought to light by her family in 2014, and is published here for the first time in Vintage Classics. A tale that travels from an eco-millionaire's British country idyll to an Arabian Nights-style fantasy of the Middle East, this is a treat for fans of this witty, curious and always surprising author."

I am enjoying this book so much! From the charmless but relatable (at least to us bookworms) protagonist, who just wants to be left alone with her books and her thoughts, to the entertaining and wry descriptions of those who take an interest in her and their intentions, I love it!

I didn't make a TBR for readathon so after I finished my first print book I had no idea what to read next. I decided to let Litsy decide! I scrolled through the #readathon hashtag hoping to find someone had mentioned a book on my shelves. I scrolled for ages and couldn't see anything, but @Daisey had mentioned Cold Comfort Farm so I went hunting and found this by the same author! Such a pretty cover! I hope the book is as good!

Daisey Glad I could inadvertently help. Enjoy! 5y

Fresh bedtime reading. This has such a pretty cover I‘ve been nervous about reading it in case it doesn‘t live up to it!

I spent ages trying to find a book for #silhouettesoncovers. Finally I had to resort to flicking through my shelves, and I'm very glad I did because this gorgeous little volume is perfect to show off! I haven't read this yet but I adore Cold Comfort Farm so I'm hoping I love it too! #seasonsreadings2016 #stellagibbons
