The books I chose were I Will not Serve by Eveline Mahyère translated from the French by Antonia White (a wonderful vmc novelist herself) and Spinster by New Zealand author Sylvia Ashton-Warner (not to be confused with Sylvia Townsend Warner). So I am glad I am managing to squeeze in a double review post to the end of the month. I have managed to read two books for this month’s theme – and I had intended to review them before now, but that hasn’t happened. This month the theme has been nuns, teachers and governesses – and there are plenty of those in the literature beloved of VMC readers. This year the Librarything Virago readers group, which I have mentioned from time to time in the past, are hosting a series of monthly themed reads.
