Nightingale Wood

Nightingale Wood

1938 • 387 pages

I read this some time ago, and remember being vaguely dissatisfied, but after enjoying the recent FM Gibbons releases I wanted to go back to it again. With my expectations not so high or perhaps so divergent from the actual book, I liked it more this time. I wish there had been more of Hetty and a less depressing ending to her story, and less of Viola, a tiresome although basically blameless character.
