Can’t recall now why it’s 40, and not 52, as the book’s premise is not to buy books for a year and plunder her own extensive collection in her home to read. She culminates in a list of The Final Forty of her favourite titles. Her enthusiasm is infectious and insight interesting. As would be expected, she writes about authors I love (Virginia Woolf), some I have never heard of (F M Mayor), and some I’ve heard of and want to read but have yet to do so (V S Naipaul). She recalls when she read them and what meaning they gave her. Books that Susan Hill has read and written, and published, along with authors and others she has met–all these and more are discussed. Essentially, a collection of short pieces about the books in the author’s life.
