Book: Anna of the Five Towns
Feb. 25th, 2010 10:15 pmAuthor: Arnold Bennett
Details: Originally published 1902; Pub Penguin Classics 2001; ISBN 978-0-14-118416-6
Verdict: Anna of the five towns is a readable and surprisingly feminist character piece.
Reasons for reading it: It seemed like a really good idea to read some classic literature set in this area, now that I've moved here. Besides which, my Dad is a big fan of Bennett so I'd been meaning for a while to give him a go.
How it came into my hands: Library; frankly I'd be very disappointed if the library didn't have Bennett's stuff available!
