Simon wanted to start the year with a nice Persephone book, Cheerful weather for the wedding, by J. Stachey. I'm a new convert to the Persephone books, so I immediately jumped at the opportunity and made my first order for these great-quality books.
Before reading the book, however, I reverted to my old tactics, and watched the movie version. What a delightful, Downton Abbey-ish production, slightly on the romantic side... I was looking forward to see how the written form would be like.
