   Should you read 'the transit of Venus' for the first time?

   • When Hazzard’s husband, the biographer Francis Steegmuller, remarked that “no one should have to read ‘The Transit of Venus’ for the first time,” he might have been referring to its cunning foreshadowing. There is an unnamed dead body on the first page; shortly after, we learn Ted Tice will eventually take his own life.

   Is 'transit' a good book?

   • That latter novel is still on my TBR list, but I can't imagine it can be much better than TRANSIT, which is in my opinion one of the better novels of the past 50 years. The novel traces the lives of Caroline and Grace Bell, two orphaned sisters who accompany their older half-sister to England from their native Australia in the 1950s.
