Scrolling through The Guardian’s books section a few weeks ago, I happened upon an article reflecting what readers say the best books were that they had read during the lockdown. A casual run through the comments brought me to a pearler by someone who calls herself MadMargaret.
It said: “I re-read Anna Karenina, The Brothers Karamazov and Sons and Lovers. Also read Hilary Mantel’s last Cromwell book, The Mirror & the Light. Oh, and East of Eden by Steinbeck. I am now reading, for the first time, the memoirs of Ulysses S Grant. I’m 200 pages into a book of 1,000 pages (the annotated version that came out last year) and enjoying it immensely.”..
