liv: Bookshelf labelled: Caution. Hungry bookworm (bookies)
Author: Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Details: (c) 1922 Harcourt, Brace and Company, Inc, USA

Verdict: Rough-Hewn is a readable character study.

Reasons for reading it: [livejournal.com profile] papersky raved about it.

How it came into my hands: It's on Project Gutenberg, though according to Wikipedia Canfield Fisher died in 1958 so this is probably one of those funny things that are Public Domain the States but not yet over here.

detailed review )

Anyway, if you're looking for recs of Gutenberg novels beyond the obvious classics, you could do a lot worse than Rough-Hewn.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
