What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?
I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?
Susanna Clarke
hated piranesi, and pushed down strange and mr norrell for an year. I am so glad that I finally read it.
Good to know. Loved Jonathan strange so much but haven’t read anything else from her.
It’s really funny that people seem to be polarized into either the Piranesi camp or the Strange & Norrell camp. I seldom see people love both or hate both.
It kinda makes sense, the books were written decades apart and bear very little resemblance to one another, so you can’t make a judgment on one based on the other.
