Books Do Furnish A Room: A Novel by Anthony Powell
2.0
Picked the book up from a church fete due to the title. It is the 10th of 12 so the feeling of coming into the middle of a well-established plot/line is inevitable, although little is done for the new reader. The plot was almost imperceptible, with the main focus being a tale of publishing in post-war
Britain. The style was a bit much for me at times, although apparently it is a perfect representation of upper-class Britain at that time. Somewhat Wodehousian, with occasional clever little vignettes, this book was easy enough to read, but did not entertain sufficiently.
