I have recently read and added to the books on my bookshelves Howards End Is On The Landing. An unusual title but in this case, while I was curious about the title, it was tha author who attracted me. I am a great admirer of Susan Hill. Her writing sparkles, brings the words off the page to make them one with you and take you into magical worlds. For me her writing brings everything alive, makes me want to read on, never to put her book down, sad when I come to the end, but them maybe I can find one I haven’t read or I can select one to read again. Maybe I’ll read The Woman In Black again – an excellent Victorian ghost story; probably the best ghost story I have read. There is much to chose from in Sunsan Hill’s writings, – I could pluck from my shelves The Magic Apple Tree, a pleasant autobiographical evocation of a country year, or The Pure In Heart,  one of her crime novels, so competently written that had she concentrated solely on crime fiction she would have stood among the doyens of crime writing. Thankfully she chose to give us so much more. I could go on – there are other books by Susan Hill on my shelves, but what of this new one?  Howards End Is On The Landing takes us through her house  looking into rooms full of books because she has decided not to get any new books for a year but to read or re-read what she has already got. It is interesting especially for book lovers and readers. And it has made me reassess my own reading.  Certainly I will turn to Susan Hill again — then maybe I a little bit biased; She was born in Scarborough about forty miles from where I live and she writes of visiting Scarborough Cricket Festival when she was young. It was a Festival that I used to go to – maybe we have been on the Scarborough cricket ground at the same time!!
