@jacquiwine.bsky.socialFrom the archive for Han Suyin, #BornOnThisDay in 1917, my thoughts on WINTER LOVE.
A compelling story of sapphic love, the agony and ecstasy of an illicit relationship frowned upon by society, set during a bitterly cold British winter in 1944. #BOTD 💙📚

@jacquiwine.bsky.socialFrom the archive for Isabel Colegate, #BornOnThisDay in 1931, thoughts on her brilliant novel THE SHOOTING PARTY.
A terrific tale of 'upstairs and downstairs' in the dying days of the Edwardian era. Very highly recommended indeed. #BOTD #BookSky 💙📚
@jacquiwine.bsky.socialFrom the archive for Tezer Özlü #BornOnThisDay in 1943 my thoughts on COLD NIGHTS OF CHILDHOOD (tr Maureen Freely)
This evocative portrayal of a young woman's fractured inner world is a striking rediscovered gem of Turkish literature. Highly recommended! 💙📚

From ‘The Last Meeting’:
“I know that he is lost among the stars,
And may return no more but in their light.
Though his hushed voice may call me in the stir
Of whispering trees, I shall not understand.”

@jacquiwine.bsky.socialFrom the archive for Carmen Laforet, #BornOnThisDay in 1921, my thoughts on NADA, an evocative first-person narrative set in the wake of the Spanish Civil War.
A remarkably atmospheric novel, beautifully translated by Edith Grossman, who died in 2023. 💙📚

@jacquiwine.bsky.socialFrom the archive for Lettice Cooper, #BornOnThisDay in 1897, my thoughts on TEA ON SUNDAY.
A very enjoyable 'closed circle' style whodunnit in which an elderly woman is bumped off in the run-up to her tea party one Sunday afternoon. #BookSky 💙📚 #BOTD
