One for either the Wimsey completist or someone interested in a social history of England in the early states of WW2. Dorothy L. Sayers wrote a series of letters of The Spectator from November 1939-January 1940, each in the voice of a character from her Peter Wimsey novels. It is, I believe, our last complete glimpse of Peter and Harriet et al to come from DLS' pen, and it's nice to get to hear their voices again, although it's all a bit slight and does confirm me in thinking that Peter and I would have a lot to disagree about in terms of worldview. ( ) Originally published in "The Spectator" in eleven parts during WWII, 1939, these are the "war-time letters and documents of the Wimsey family." Other than the voices of the characters from Lord Peter Wimsey's world, including his own, these have nothing to do with mysteries. They give glimpses into the lives of the characters during the war, but mostly they are a window to view daily life from various experiences on the home front. Also, and I think this is the main point, to give Sayers a venue to express her thoughts on current events. I found them interesting, and some were amusing. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
