Book III: The Adventures of David Simple by Sarah Fielding, 1744 first publication, 432 pages.
More British Literature, as much as I hate to say it I find there are few American writers worth reading. To be completely honest I much enjoy their command of the English language in contrast to Americans. The Adventures of David Simple takes us back to 18th century London. The hero as the title suggests David Simple is swindled out of his father’s inheritance by his brother, after being completely disheartened by mankind, he goes of on a quest to find one decent human being to restore his faith in mankind. Upon finding this “perfect” person he plans to share his fortune with such a character.
Unlike the other two previous book club choices I have only just begun to read this book on page 39. It’s a fairly easy read and rather well written for enjoyable perusal. I hope you enjoyed both book one and two. If you missed book II Within the Hollow Crown although initially put off by the beginning I could not put it down till the last page. A definite must read. Click on the links below for the first two installments. Happy reading.
