Cover, Godden, Greengage Summer (1958)
Website alert: I've just discovered Thornfield Hall, review after review of the kind of books I love. For instance, I'd been wondering whether to read Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future (2020). Now I will. And it's good to be reminded of older books. Rumer Godden's The Greengage Summer (1958) is on my shelf and just moved up on my to-reread list. Hooray!
