I couldn't say it's because I don't 'get' that era - I love Waugh's 'Bright Young Things' so it must be style or something else.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to have a try with 'Tender is the Night', because I do feel like I'm missing out.GlassCurlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006992143355408956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078357011397157919.post-52058667761371039112008-09-30T12:22:00.000-07:002008-09-30T12:22:00.000-07:00I regularly turn to Tender is the Night too.

I think it has the most wonderfully written opening page and I used to study just that page with my GCSE classes before they began their creative writing course work.
