![]() Perfect combination, so if you have a park nearby or are lucky enough to have a garden please make sure you read this book outside.Įlizabeth von Arnim, known before as Mary Annette Beauchamp, married Count Henning August von Arnim-Schlagenthin and lived with him for few years in Berlin, where she wasn’t happy at all. I must tell you, this is how this book should be read, because I devoured it in two hours, appreciating the book more because of the nature around me and appreciating the nature because of the book. Luckily the Sunday was a beautiful day and I could go to the Rose Garden in Greenwich Park, lie down on a blanket, flowers around me, blue sky above, birds and quiet sound of people talking somewhere around but not too close. I started reading it on a June Saturday evening when the sun has already set and initially I couldn’t get in the mood, something didn’t feel right. But i is because of those recommendations that I grabbed this book in a second hand bookshop as soon as I saw it, so thank you all dear book bloggers! ![]() ![]() Both widely recommended by other book bloggers, so as usually I am late to the party. ![]() This book was a first for me for two reasons: my first Elizabeth von Arnim and my first Virago Modern Classic. ![]()
