Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'I should have read S.& H. ["Shops and Houses"] earlier, despite J. & P. , but I couldn’t get the book off Marguerite. Conjugal unpleasantness became so acute on the point that I was obliged to buy a second copy. I think this book shows marked development on the part of the author. There are about 150 pp. as good as the very best few pages of On the Staircase, & some much better.'
