![]() ![]() ![]() Like the earlier book this novel is loosely based on the relationship between a Victorian writer and a young woman in this case a very much younger woman because the writer fictionalised as John Jameson is clearly Charles Dodgson, better known to most as Lewis Carroll. I read The Girl in the Blue Dress when it first came out and so, knowing a little of the way Arnold worked in that novel, I decided that I would read her more recent book, After Such Kindness, in order to be able to make comparisons between the two. One of the books scheduled as a group read next month is Gaynor Arnold’s fictionalised depiction of the life led by Catherine Dickens after her husband fell in love with the young actress Nellie Ternan. ![]()
