I WILL NOT rest until each and every last one of you has read something, anything by Diana Athill.
Check out this interview with her if you wonder why I'm in love with her. Then join me in the delicious anticipation of a collection of her letters being published next year; I absolutely cannot wait.
yes ma'am! Will run to goodreads and see if I already have her on my tbr (cuz I know you've told me to read something once before if not many times) and then I will check for ebook offerings.
THANKS!

OK - just requested Yesterday Morning from the local library! :)

Care,
That's the spirit!
Although you've caught me out--I've not read Yesterday Morning. I was under the impression it was a novel, so I hadn't gotten it yet. Looks like memoir, though, so I'll have to request it from the library. I'll race you! :)

CR introduced me to Diana Athill, and now I'm smitten too. Go out and get something by her - you won't regret it.

Marija:
All I can say is, YAY! I may not get anything else done in my life, but if I can get a bit more word out about Diana Athill, I will have succeeded.

Lindy,
You're very welcome. I'm just tickled to hear Athill's got so many fans!! (She can never have too many.)

Just finished Yesterday Morning - it was good in a pleasant-soak-in-the-sun kind of way. Nothing grand but then nothing grand was really promised. I enjoyed it.
