I was sorry to read of the death of Elizabeth Jane Howard.

Until I read about Howard, I hadn't known she'd published a fifth Cazalet novel two months ago. I read the first four books as they came out and I think I'd need to reread if I were to appreciate the latest. My inclination is to let it go; I'm not sure the experience would live up to my memory and where's the time, alas. I reread very these days.

Her earlier books were fun; I think they'd be marvelous time capsules now.

No, I hadn't heard about the fifth book either. I received a gift card for one of our book store chains, so I'll be spending it on All Change.

forgot to say, I heard a nice interview a few days ago on Woman's hour, BBC Radio 4: if you skip to minute 20:08 you can here it here:

where she talks on the Cazalets. I also listened to another one maybe yesterday, which was more personal, but cannot find it!
