My copy of Murdoch’s The Bell had an earlier life as a library copy labelled “reading group pack” I bought it in a charity shop and benefit from someone’s analysis scribbled in pencil in it. Lovely.

I picked up Eileen as I felt someone had recommended it, but didn't know who or anything about it (I love to start a book with no knowledge or preconceptions). I am immediately drawn in. Just searched Bluesky to check where I saw it. I look forward to reading your review when I have finished it.
