Sobre IBD

In the Five Towns human nature is reported to be so hard that you can break stones on it. Yet sometimes it softens, and then we have one of our rare idylls of which we are very proud, while pretending not to be. The soft and delicate South would possibly not esteem highly our idylls, as such. Nevertheless they are our idylls, idyllic for us, and reminding us, by certain symptoms, that though we never cry there is concealed somewhere within our bodies a fount of happy tears.

  • The Ghost
    Arnold Bennett
    A ghost story that was a slow build but had all the right elements. This book was written in the very early 20th century, and it was nice to step back in history. The development between Carl and Rosa was captivating and the final reveal as to the motives of the ghost was satisfying. This was a ghost story with a ghost and not a psychological ghost story. It was well written an...
