from the book jacket:Early one autumn afternoon in pursuit of an elusive book on her shelves, Susan Hill encountered dozens of others that she had never read, or forgotten she owned, or wanted to read for a second time. The discovery inspired her to embark on a year-long voyage through her books, forsaking new purchases in order to get to know her own collection again.A book which is left on a shelf for a decade is a dead thing, but it is also a chrysalis, packed with the potential to burst into new life. Wandering through her house that day, Hill's eyes were opened to how much of that life was stored in her home, neglected for years. Howard's End is on the Landing charts the journey of one of the nation's most accomplished authors as she revisits the conversations, libraries and bookshelves of the past that have informed a lifetime of reading and writing.

Wow! This looks like an interesting read! It's similar to the last book I read, but different enough to be a change in perspective. Christine, how do you even find these books? As I'm sure I've said many times, so many enjoyable books come from recommendations from this blog. Thank you.
One book leads to another! You are most welcome, Mary. Thank you for your thoughtful contributions to this blog.
