poachedeggs's review against another edition
3.0
It's kind of cool that I read this after one of Kingsley Amis's books, as the foreword to this opens with a reference to Amis having admired Taylor's writing.
Strangely, there was also the mention of 'greengages' here - something I'd never heard of before, but which also popped up in Amis (and which appears in the title of a Rumer Godden novel I have on my to-read list for this season).

Already want to reread this. Likely to be a 4 star on a second read. Just wasn’t in the right headspace it seems!

3 1/2. I liked this much better at the end, then when I was actually reading it. I found it to be very slow, but I also think maybe it's me and the current headspace I'm in and not the book.
