OH GOD, I would have died. Doomsday Book nearly killed me with how tense it got, I cannot imagine how I would have felt if it hadn't ended at the end of the book . SO GOOD. I've also read To Say Nothing of the Dog, that was last week, and I loved it lots.

She really is fantastic--I love that she can make her stories so different, it's great for the reader.

Selma Lagerlöf is wonderful--she was one of our best writers ever, basically. I can't answer for how good the translations are, but I think they would be okay, or I'd hope they'd be, given that she was the first woman who won the Nobel Prize of Literature, perhaps the standard is decent? Idk. But Gösta Berling and the Löwensköld (probably spelled different in English) are all great. As are her short stories. And her autobiographies.
