It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

In the final days of the Second World War, Hugh Selwyn Mauberley scrawls his desperate account on the walls and ceilings of his ice-cold prison high in the Austrian Alps. Officers of the liberating army discover his frozen, disfigured corpse and his astonishing testament -- the sordid truth that he alone possessed. Fascinated but horrified, they learn of a dazzling array of characters caught up in scandal and political corruption. The exiled Duke and Duchess of Windsor, von Ribbentrop, Hitler, Charles Lindberg, Sir Harry Oakes -- all play sinister parts in an elaborate scheme to secure world domination.
Once of the strangest, most unusual, most fascinating and original novels I've ever read. A brilliant and mesmerizing book which the Toronto Star describes as "a meditation on history and the human soul."
Findley is/was one of my favourite writers, and I was deeply saddened by his death in 2002. Click here for his obituary.

Mailed yesterday to lauraloo29...enjoy!
Arrived today. Thank you!
I have once again run out of room for my TBR pile. I've taken a second look at this book and decided to find a new home for it.
Sending as a RABCK to oofiri. Enjoy!
Arrived in the mail today. Thank you, lauraloo29!
I had mostly read Findley's later novels, and this one was rather different from what I expected. The mixture of history and fantasy got me agreeably confused - also felt very uncivilised when at times I couldn't tell which :-) The writing was good enough to be enjoyable, and characters, especially the writers, personable and interesting.
Thank you, lauraloo29, for your generosity!

I couldn't get myself interested in this book. I don't know if it was the characters or the plot, but I had trouble finishing it. I don't see why the chapters couldn't be in chronological order, it made it even harder to follow the plot.
I guess it just wasn't my kinda book.
