Rachel at Book Snob has written a wonderful review of this title here today, and as I have read it previously, I am going to cheat a little today, and give you a link to the review here. Thank you Rachel - I hope you don't mind (for those of you who don't read her blog, then I would warmly recommend it as Rachel often writes about VMCs and is an excellent reviewer) I was reminded by Rachel's review how much I enjoyed this book and was quite disappointed to see that she hasn't written any other VMCs.
Here are the covers - it has been issued three times, and I read the most recent edition.
Another Virago to add to the wishlist, of course. The problem with linking to Rachel's lovely review is that reminds me how much I want a copy of the book! Hee.
ReplyDeleteVerity you are far too kind! Of course I don't mind!
ReplyDeleteFrankly none of these covers really sum up this book at all; I wonder why they were chosen!
I like the pictures that they've used, certainly for the top two anyway (not sure about the chick lit version) but you're right, they're not exactly apt!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rachel, none of the covers really fit the book! One of my favourite Viragos. I really enjoyed this and wish she had more books available.
ReplyDeleteIt's heartening to see those two green covers, as I had only seen the purple one and it looked too chick litty to me, even though I wanted to read it.
ReplyDeleteI've read Rachel's review and it's made me want to pick it up no matter the cover!
