Buying the New Yorker - Page 8

This time, it's a book - The Sisters Mortland by Sally Beauman. If you click the link, you will go to her biographical page, on her husband's (actor Alan Howard) website. The first thing that I noticed is that there is no mention of a book called The Sisters Mortland. This is because its title was changed for American release from The Landscape of Love. I guess.

I've not read this, and from the description, am not entirely sure that I want to.

The Sisters Mortland by Sally Beauman - $16.47 (Hardcover via Amazon)

Running total - $4,361.08

Update: It seems that Beauman's website has been updated. No doubt about it - The Sisters Mortland and The Landscape of Love are the same book. And as a reward to the commenter who pointed this out to me and was kind enough to recommend the book (with admitted bias, no less - note where the link goes). I have just logged onto Amazon and bought it.

I shall read the book!

N.B. If the guy auctioning the Rembrandt comes calling, I probably won't be as accommodating.
