Do you want to read more classic fiction? Do you want to know more about how novels work, their technique? Do you want to do this in a low pressure bookclub-style setting? Join Henry Oliver, who writes The Common Reader for this series on How to Read a Novel.
In this series, we will learn how novels work: the clues that novelists leave us. Each book is a tapestry. All the threads work together. Nothing is there for no good reason. As we learn more, we become better readers.
This month’s novel is The Gate of Angels, a hugely precise novel about Edwardian Cambridge. We will be asking the same question as the critics. How does she do it?
The rest of the books for the series are:
Persuasion, Jane Austen
Silas Marner, George Eliot
A Room with a View, E. M. Forster
The Death of the Heart, Elizabeth Bowen
The Remains of the Day, Kazuo Ishiguro
