I have only know Ellis Peters from her Brother Cadfael medieval mysteries, didn't even know she wrote a long series of contemporary mysteries. Ellis Peters is a pen name. The Grass Widows Tale felt so dated at first that I was not sure I could follow it. But it's 1960s setting is really no different than reading a story set in any other era, though it was contemporary when it was written. Like any good novel it contained some surprises and some suspense. I may read the rest of the series. ( ) I like this one - Bunty makes an excellent protagonist. This story has the most magnificently and comprehensively depressing beginning of any book I've read and actually liked. Bunty's small mid-life crisis leads her to a connection with a young man who has his own problems - and she figures out that they are not at all what he thinks they are. Then things get dangerous. No unlikely heroics, here - the heroics are very reasonable, both physically and emotionally. Lovely story, very rich. I've read it several times before and likely will again.

Such is Bunty Felse's light-hearted reply to her husband's parting words of caution, when George is called away to London on urgent police business. To shake off the black mood, she goes out to the local pub - where a chance meeting with a distraught stranger proves that her farewell words to George were horribly mistaken. Caught up in a terrifying situation, Bunty struggles desperately to hold on to her life No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
