Ok 1. Time to stop postponing my reread of Brás Cubas, and 2. I love the conversation around the special feeling of “discovering” older books. I recently heard about The Enchanted April (1922) by Elizabeth von Arnim for the first time, and in the space of a week I purchased the book, read it, watched the movie adaptation, and it’s now a new favorite!
The Enchanted April!! I read it last April and it was just PERFECT for the season! I'm going to go look for the movie now! I'm currently reading Margaret Oliphant's A Beleaguered City (1879!), which I found several months ago in the local bookshop in an old paperback copy with a Monet for the cover.
And yes, pleeease read Brás Cubas and let me know what you think of it!
