The Stowmarket Mystery

Another case for Reginald Brett, barrister and hobby detective: David Hume-Frazer is in some trouble. He was the prime suspect in the murder case of his cousin, Alan. Though he was never convicted, suspicion clings to him, and he wishes his name to be cleared before he marries his fiancé, Helen Layton.

The Charterhouse of Parma

The Charterhouse of Parma by Stendhal

This book is more often called The Charterhouse of Parma in English, because “Charterhouse” is the English word for a Carthusian monastery, whereas “Chartreuse” is the French word.

The book tells the life of a Lombard nobleman, born soon after the appearance of Napoleon’s army in Italy. He has many adventures in love, war, politics, and the Church. The politics and the Church part of his life result from his doting aunt’s becoming the Prime Minister’s mistress, and the power behind the throne, in the Duchy of Parma.

The Prime Minister is a wish-fulfillment depiction of the author. Although nobody lives happily ever after, it is a happy book to read, quite unlike “The Red and the Black”.
