Miss Hargreaves...a second post

I cannot remember the last time I raced through a book at such a steady pace with such eagerness as I turn each page. I finished reading Miss Hargreaves in 2 days. A fantastic story line ...imagine making up a fictional character and meeting it face to face one day. What powers are these? You imagine and it becomes true. You start off being terrifically interested in the actual meeting. Then you get frustrated with this 83 year old spinster and her little fussy ways. As the story progresses, you get exasperated and even agree with the maker; Norman Huntley ( who's ability to expand on a lie is how this story came about) that Miss Hargreaves should die. Let Frank Baker introduce you to this delightful character in stages and feel yourself immersed in some pretty strong emotions. This book was first published in 1940. My paperback version is by the Bloomsbury Group  2009. This book has been adapted for both stage and radio. Somebody should make this into a mini series.  " Creative thought creates"

Bought this evening!!!

Here's a link to this book Miss Hargreaves

This was right at the bottom shelf at TIME Bookstore. The shelves above housed books by Jeffrey Archer, Cecelia Ahern, Lucy Cavendish etc. This is the wonderful thing about having time to browse. You walk about  and your eyes see beyond the usual range. How else would I have seen this book? Haven't started reading it yet. But it's already unwrapped and sitting on the dining table, together with Maeve Binchy's " The Return Journey". It's nice to know that when I've finished reading Elizabeth Noble, there will be no void and the reading will continue seamlessly with either Binchy or Baker.
