451. Darkness and Day, by I. Compton-Burnett (read 22 Nov 1952) SPOILER When I started to read this I said: "Super boring." The next day I said: "If suitable concentration were given, it could be a satisfying book." The following day I said: "Book had a few traces of humor in the conversation of the 8 and 10 year old girls, Rose and Viola." On the day I finished the book I said: "Liked book muchly. Bridget turned out to be the daughter of Sir Ransom Chase and Mrs. Spruce. The best characters in the book were Rose and Viola, eight year old daughters of Bridget and Edmund. Very good book." ( )
