I've read Holtby's short stories, and agree they are very good. I thought I
hadn't read South Riding, but when I started it again I realised I had. It's
very much to my liking because in books, as in fiction, I like the long
game.
1 wicket to go - not sure I can stand the strain. They've just paused for
lunch.

Hi Trish
Have you tried Winifred Holtby's short stories? I have a collection called
"Remember, Remember" which I like very much.
I have read quite a few of her books and none of them are nearly as good as
"South Riding".
It was published posthumously because Winifred Holtby died of Bright's
disease just after it was written.
In Vera Britain's biography of Winifred Holtby, "Testament of Friendship"
she talks about proof-reading the book and there being errors that would not
have been made had she been well.
I wonder if anyone else has noticed the glaring error: Bill Heyer becomes
Bob Heyer.
Back to the cricket, only 2 wickets to go!
Pele
