And then there is the whole question of what is a comfort read? Whipple is sometimes harrowing, sometime makes one cry (the scene where Ellen comes in through the French windows in Someone at a Distance and sees her marriage destroyed in a glance is guaranteed) but lastly this week we shall chose a Whipple novel and in this case Greenbanks, about a grandmother's very close relationship with her granddaughter. It is a perfect weekend read. And it's the Perspective at the moment though this will be changed over the weekend.
