    Way to go on your Victober reads! Interesting discussion on feminism in the South African novel. I've read a short story collection by Emily Carroll and quite enjoyed it - such cool artwork.

      thx :) yes! i've read that one too & liked the art style! i think they just fall apart a little at the plot level.

    Fascinating as ever! I am curious to read The Story of an African Farm - not expecting to like it but expecting to find it very historically interesting.

    I’m definitely interested in Ella Hepworth Dixon, this one and My Flirtations. It’s weird the Broadview edition didn’t list the dates of serialization, it looks like it was weekly from 6 Jan 1894 to 24 March 1894. I already have Aimee Furniss down from your socialist video and have never wanted to pick up African Farm before but you’ve increased my interest. I loved Shirley and yes, my friend and I were wondering when reading it, where she was for about the first 100 pages?! I thought it would focus more on the industrial side from how it started out but essentially it’s still a love story. I loved the character of Shirley, her strength, which of course is aided by her financial independence but still- that bit where she throws out one of the curates I was cheering her on! Finishing any monthly TBR is an achievement Anne Marie!
