Mrs. Miniver
Jul 16th, 2010 by Elsi
It’s too hot to think, or focus, or concentrate in any way. So I’m pulling books off the shelf almost at random—and just, therefore, re-read Mrs. Miniver.
My teenaged self wrote on the flyleaf, “Ends better than it begins.” I’m not so sure of that, though I kept reading partly because I was thinking surely something will happen, sometime, won’t it? (It didn’t.) And partly because continuing to read it was easier than getting up in the heat and finding another book.
Ah, well … it’s supposed to be a nice, round 100° tomorrow.
