Part 2 of A Dance to the Music of Time
Synopsis (Credit: http://en.wikipedia.org)
A Dance to the Music of Time is a twelve-part cycle of novels by Anthony Powell, inspired by the painting of the same name by Nicolas Poussin. One of the longest works of fiction in literature, it was published between 1951 and 1975 to critical acclaim. The story is an often comic examination of movements and manners, power and passivity in English political, cultural and military life in the mid 20th century.

I gave my review on this book when I read this copy.
Donated to 1001-library to be included in the library of books on the combined 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die list.
This donation is in memory of Dunzy, who recommended this cycle of books and was always encouraging others to donate parts of the series to the 1001-library. I have copies of 9 parts of the cycle of 12, and klaradyn kindly gave me copies of all 12 parts for BookCrossing purposes. As I read them, I intend to select from the combined group a full set to donate to the 1001-library. If you are interested, let me know.
Thanks so much for your donation stoepbrak!

The book is on its way to soffitta1 in Spain. I posted it this morning, opting for surface mail. Quite often a registered package like this gets lucky and is included with items dispatched by airmail. Only time will tell.

Thanks, these arrived over the Easter at work, I really look forward to reading more.
I enjoyed reacquainting myself with Powell's work, a few of the characters from the first book return, a bit older.
