I try not to let it matter to me about liking or disliking the author, but
unfortunately sometimes my prejudices get the better of me. I think we
already discussed this in relation to Jeffrey Archer some time ago. How do
you feel about it, Clare? Does it make you read a book more critically?

I have only tried to read the Maid of Buttermere, which I couldn't get on
with, though I think it was a rather dreary Calibre reader so not a fair
test of the book. I have always meant to return to him.
Yes, when I hear people in rather salubrious areas whinging about aircraft
noise, I want them to go and live somewhere like an inner-city estate where
they would really have something to complain about. Elizabeth Jane Howard,
in her autobiography Slipstream, says that she couldn't bear her house in
Camden Town because of the traffic noise. She had previously lived in Flask
Walk in Hampstead, presumably Millionaires' Row where nothing so vulgar as a
car ever penetrated. I love her novels, but what a spoilt madam she seems to
have been in life. Clare
