What I read in September, a difficult month personally so the company of Aubrey/Maturin particularly welcome. I enjoyed the Hamilton more as it went along, a fittingly dreary milieu for a dismal September. Thanks to @backlisted.bsky.social for the Sherriff tip and being right about Stevie Smith.

A stack of books including titles by Graham Greene, Anne Brontë, Stevie Smith, Patrick O’Brian, RC Sherriff and Patrick Hamilton.
