Next up, something a bit more worthy, I hope--R. F. Delderfield's Long Summer Day, the first book in his A Horseman Riding By trilogy. At least with this book, I'll be sure the dialog will be well written and believable.

I'm well into R. F. Delderfield's
Long Summer Day, and what a pleasure after
Artemis. The complete opposite -- not a lot of action, but a whole lot of superb writing, about a period in England that I know little about -- the Edwardian Era, starting with the end of the Boer War, and the coronation of Edward VII. This is a rich book that would be a wonderful read for the New Leaf Book Club, but it's probably a bit too long. I might just go ahead and nominate it for the
It's All Relative theme regardless.
