Another lovely collection of literature-based essays from the wonderful Viv Groskop. I truly enjoyed reading this collection, and I hope she puts out another one for a different country's literature! Side note: as someone who does speak French (not well, but I can converse with you!), it was interesting to get this effective list of suggestions for furthering my immersion in the culture.

This was a loan from a friend a truly unexpected delight. It's well-written, insightful and laugh out loud funny even if, like me, you have only read some of them, and those in translation. After all, like me, the author's first encounter with Cyrano Dr Bergerac was via Steve Martin in Roxanne.
