E.M. Brent-Dyer, The rivals of the Chalet School
A.C. Doyle, The lost world
P. Fitzgerald, Offshore
A far from vintage month. Too much illness, parties and Christmas to do much work in. Nonetheless, de Waal's follow up to The hare with amber eyes is a triumph, despite being about pot. What's striking to me is how good his writing remains on historical detail and engagement with porcelain - sections which I think are stronger than the bits where he actually talks about pottery. I am happy to concede this may say more about me than anything else.
