The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: The Story of Britain Through Its Census, Since 1801 | Roger Hutchinson

I'm having to do a first post on some of the books I've started reading concurrently in order for them to show up properly as I can mark them as current reads! The list is just growing and growing and growing... I'm very whim-driven at the moment, just reading a little of multiple books at the same time, and that's fine.

I'm finding this one more interesting than I thought, even while it's still just describing how the census was set up!

The Swimming Pool Season | Rose Tremain

pick

I adore Rose Tremain‘s novels. I can‘t recall how I first learned about her, but I have been reading her for many years. This one is set in the 1980s in a small French village. A cast of excellently drawn characters navigate their way through life. Perfection 👏😍🙏

Cuilin I need to read more by her. I loved

The Swimming Pool Season | Rose Tremain

Leni is reminding me of another grumpy old woman character that I am fond of. 😂
Any other fans of Rose Tremain out there?

Rissreadswithcats Another author I am yet to read! You and I usually love the same books, so which one would you suggest? 1mo

Eva_B I read ‘Restoration‘ a long time ago and really enjoyed it I‘ve always meant to read more of her work. 1mo

MrsMalaprop @Rissreadswithcats I don‘t think I‘ve ever read one I don‘t like. The three others that I have on my shelves (& you are welcome to borrow) are , The Road Home and Tresspass.

Gabriel's Moon | William Boyd

pick

Travel writer Gabriel is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the 60s when he is asked to interview Patrice Lumumba. From there his life takes a turn and he becomes an unlikely Cold War spy, caught up in more than he realises. I loved Gabriel‘s gentle yet sharp character, his attempts to play with those leading him, combined with his sad backstory and the will he/won‘t he romance. Stylish, good fun, yet also thought provoking.

TrishB Not read any Boyd yet 🤷‍♀️ 2mo

JillR @trishb I really love him. I don‘t read many male authors but he‘s a go to 2mo

TrishB I need to try at some point! 2mo
