The BURIED Book Club discussion

By virtue of having eaten pomegranate seeds, this publisher grants new life to those "novels, short stories, diaries and cookery books" that have been resigned to the forgotten corners of the underworld's libraries.

They describe their endeavor thusly on their website:

"Persephone prints mainly neglected fiction and non-fiction by women, for women and about women. The titles are chosen to appeal to busy women who rarely have time to spend in ever-larger bookshops and who would like to have access to a list of books designed to be neither too literary nor too commercial. The books are guaranteed to be readable, thought-provoking and impossible to forget."

Their titles may be had via post, in better bookshops or—best of all—in their own shop in London.

Unearthed via listopia where some good readers (perhaps some of whom might be grateful to join the BBC?) listed their favorites from this publisher.

I'll just ignore that condescending self-description. I mean, SOME people!!!!

But, that is quite a full list of female names unKNown to me: http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/auth...
