Dora Saint

Yesterday, I had the very great honour of giving a reading at Dora Saint’s memorial service. Dora wrote under the name of ‘Miss Read’ and I adore her novels – particularly the Fairacre books. They never fail to raise a smile and warm my heart. I even named four of ours hens after her characters!

Quotes by Victoria Connelly

“I wonder what it is about a certain novel that ticks the boxes for a reader. I mean, for me, a story can have the most fascinating plot in the world, but if the narrator's voice is dull, then the plot counts for nothing. For me, authorial charm is everything.”

“Novels can tell us so much about life. They have the power to enrich our own lives in so many different ways. They're not just for entertaining us, although that would be enough.”
― Victoria Connelly, Mr. Darcy Forever
