Passing by Nella Larsen

Margo’s first review of the year

it was amazing
This reminded me a bit of Rebecca West's 'The Return of the Soldier' - a tense, heartbreaking comedy of manners. Many great lines and observations. The dissection of female friendship and the undercurrents of conversations is extremely sharp. ...more

The Haunting Scent of Poppies by Victoria  Williamson

Margo’s last review of the year

it was amazing
4.5 â­� rounded up

I loved the storytelling flair & imagination of 'The Haunting Scent of Poppies'. It has a great central idea, elegantly executed. It feels best not to give too much plot away, for risk of spoilers, as it's a short book. Although it has elements of horror, and a low-life criminal protagonist, it felt like a relatively cosy fireside read.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy.
