“The process of reading is reciprocal; the book is no more than a formula, to be furnished out with images out of the reader’s mind.” ———————————— Elizabeth Bowen is my favourite author - she inspires me with her eye for detail and for capturing the human emotions in their raw essence. She is not an easy author to read but oh boy, the effort is so worth it. If you haven’t read her works, I highly recommend you do. Good starting novels ( not featured here in the picture)are The Last September - a nostalgic elegy describing the Anglo- Irish Gentry and The Death Of The Heart - a heart rending portrait of a teenage girl caught up in the harsh emotions of her adolescence. ___________________________ Wishing everyone a Happy Weekend! ___________________________ #abowenfridaypost #bookstagram #booksofig #vintagebooks #elizabethbowen #frommycollection #literaturejunkie #lovetoread #readingisfun #readingissexy #readingiscool #bookishhygge #bookishallure #bookporn #booknerd #bookworm #met_createchange #thesimplejoysoflife #whatcouldbebetter (at Mumbai, Maharastra) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm3KAw7Fa7Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mxewgttmfl4b
