Love For Lydia
I realised after about a third of the book that I had read it before, many years ago, and it had been serialised for TV in the seventies(?). I think a young Peter Davidson played Mr (no christian name) Richardson. What I probably missed first time was what a wonderful prose writer H.E is. His descriptions of nature and the weather are spellbinding. The beginning is slow, but then the drama builds up between five friends, to a very powerful and compelling story. Sorry to say that I just couldn't stand the spoiled and insensitive Lydia!
