Glad I thought to look at your blog this morning.Campfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573797205145907726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-82902994229573860022012-07-10T19:48:31.639+10:002012-07-10T19:48:31.639+10:00I didn't know much about John Mullan before re...I didn't know much about John Mullan before reading this but I found him an engaging & amusing guide to the novels. There was something new to me in every chapter & it made me want to read the books again.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-26212877514429992452012-07-10T18:55:24.030+10:002012-07-10T18:55:24.030+10:00There has been much discussion of this book on UK ...There has been much discussion of this book on UK television and radio and although I don't always get on with Mullan, I think I may just have to get hold of a copy. There is very little I like more than reading about books I know reasonably well and then coming away with an even greater insight into them.Alexhttp://thinkinginfragments.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-90508666849055635862012-07-10T18:42:10.589+10:002012-07-10T18:42:10.589+10:00Hello, a couple of O Douglas's books are avail...Hello, a couple of O Douglas's books are available as e-books from manybooks.net. They have the Setons & Olivia in India. There are about a dozen different formats available & there's a Kindle one there so if you download the Kindle app for your iPad, I think you'll be able to download them. I don't know Taken by the Hand but I've enjoyed the books I've read & I'll always be interested to get hold of more.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-4864489710978463002012-07-10T03:24:30.794+10:002012-07-10T03:24:30.794+10:00I have only just found this blog in a search for s...I have only just found this blog in a search for some of O Douglas's books. I'm thinking of 'Taken by the Hand' a copy is on Ebay now. I thought if I replied to the post of last year it might not be seen.<br /><br />I noticed someone had one of the books on E Reader. Might I ask if I would be able to get them on iPad, as I'm expecting to receive one ANY DAY NOW!<br /><br />If you can point me in the direction of any comments about Taken by the Hand, I'd appreciate it. By the way, I did think Pink Sugar was just that - a bit too sweet for my liking. My favourite is always going to be Penny Plain and then The House that is our Own, although I was disappointed when Isobel went to Canada, even though she did find love there. I would have loved to have read more about the lovely Glenbucho Place.Campfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573797205145907726noreply@blogger.com
