  • All Done by Kindness

    par Doris Langley Moore ...

There are some pictures too,” Mrs. Hovenden brought out with a fresh effort, “oil paintings that were in the rector’s family.”The kindness of Dr George Sandilands towards an elderly patient, and her insistence on repaying him with the detritus of her attic, sets in motion a comedy of errors that ...

Elinor MacFarren—middle-aged spinster, botanical writer, and collector of prints and objets d’art—decides to rent part of her ... En savoir plus

  • My Caravaggio Style

    par Doris Langley Moore ...

  • A Game of Snakes and Ladders

    par Doris Langley Moore ...
    Fanny Burney would not approve of some of my chapters, but it was my affection for the novels of her school, in which the heroine goes through all kinds of distresses but emerges in a sweeping triumph at the end, that made me long to try my hand at the same theme—treating it, however, in our down-to-earth twentieth-century way.This brilliant homage to the 19th century novel begins with two young ...

    par Doris Langley Moore ...
    Traduit par Miguel Ros González ...

The flamboyantly larger ... En savoir plus

  • Rhododendron Pie

    par Margery Sharp ...
    It was indeed very difficult for the Laventie children not to be a little priggish.Ann Laventie, the youngest of three children in a long line of anti-social Sussex gentry, doesn't quite fit the mould of her intellectual, elegant, ultra-modern siblings Dick, an artist, and Elizabeth, a high-brow writer. Their father is scholarly and just wealthy enough to focus all his attention on reading and ... En savoir plus

    par Margery Sharp ...
    Sentimental, affectionate, uncritical, Mrs. Bracken so easily attached herself to persons, places, and even objects that after no more than two days in an hotel she had a favourite waiter, a favourite ornament, a favourite view.

  • Much Dithering

    par Dorothy Lambert ...
    The most striking thing about Much Dithering was its peacefulness. The few people who saw it from charabancs on morning or evening or circular drives said: "Isn't it peaceful?" or "Isn't it quiet?". And some said they thought it was a lovely place to be buried in, but while they were alive they preferred a place with more life, if you knew what they meant.The unlikely heroine of this delightful ...

To rouse the women . . ."Professor Pounce arrives in the idyllic village of Gillenham, along with his sister-in-law, his nephew ... En savoir plus

  • Four Gardens

    par Margery Sharp ...
    She announced herself, rather self-consciously, as Mrs. Henry Smith, and he replied that Mrs. Cornwallis was expecting her. To Caroline, following him through a wide shabby hall, the whole episode was beginning to feel like a nightmare. She was intensely conscious of herself-of her dress, her voice, the way she placed her feet. She felt like a cook-general going to be interviewed."Mrs. Henry Smith ... En savoir plus
