The Corner That Held Them | Sylvia Townsend Warner

"Since the pestilence it is impossible to find a spare priest at a reasonable price. People think of nothing but money." #EternalPlagueProblems from the Middle Ages to current times...

Only 2 chapters in but I'm loving the utter sumptuousness of the writing. And the humour! Every page a feast of delights. #nunlit #nunlitquarterly

batsy @TrishB The more things change... 😅 1y
batsy @Jess_Read_This It's very dense, but very good so far! 1y
batsy @Kristin_Reads I hope you enjoy it! 1y
jlhammar So good! And I agree about it being dense. There is so much here and I am loving it. I feel like it demands me to be my best reader self, giving it my full attention, but I really appreciate that. I can't wait to really sink into this more today. 1y
LeahBergen I‘m enjoying it, too! 1y
batsy @jlhammar I love that about the "best reader self"! I agree; I put it aside until I have time during the day to fully immerse myself in it. A book that rewards attention and slow reading, I think ? 1y
batsy @LeahBergen Yay! I wish I had her way with words 😍 1y
