4.0 out of 5 stars
A peek into a life in rural Victorian England,
By Sergio (Texas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Uncle Silas (Twentieth Century Classics) (Paperback)
These are not rip-roaring adventures. This is not Harry Potter. These are recollections by the narrator of his irrepressible grandfather, who told wild stories, never slowed down, loved a practical joke, loved the women, and pretty much lived his life as he wanted, regardless of convention.
If you enjoy putting yourself into an earlier time (late 1800s) and a place (rural England) that few people have experienced, this is what you should be reading. Some stories better than others, as usual with any collection, but Uncle SIlas will become a character you wish you had known.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Classic to warm your heart.,
This review is from: My Uncle Silas (The Graywolf Short Fiction Series) (Paperback)
The basis of a really outstanding BBC series which did justice to this outstanding HUMAN book.
