Let this book shimmer out of sight. Cleaning shelf, reducing guilt, giving it another chance another time.------------------------------------------with my exquisite and accurate instinct i managed to buy this 3rd book in frederica tetralogy and not the 1st and 2nd book, although i've had them in shopping cart.. during a 2SGD each second hand NLB sale... only because it would be too heavy to carry home and i couldn't imagine where to keep a growing book collection in my teeny tiny rented room... and finding out today that i do like this byatt n it would be great to read them from beginning.. which mean i have to borrow from library, ordering it from other branch to deliver to the one next to my office which will cost me 1.5SGD....LOSER.....
