WHAT BRITAIN IS READING
First favourite in London this week —and it deserves to be, for it is a rare, a disinterested book—is Nora Wain’s REACHING FOR THE STARS. But Herr Hitler’s MEIN KAMPF and Martha Dodd’s MY YEAR IN GERMANY still hold their own. Other titles in demand are Sean O’Casey’s I KNOCK AT THE DOOR, NEW YORK PANORAMA, a miscellany with a preface by Susan Ertz, T. S. Eliot’s THE FAMILY REUNION, and PLANNED A.R.P., by "Tecton," published by the Architectural Press. FICTION In fiction, there is Pearl Buck’s THE PATRIOT and Rachel Field’s ALL THIS AND HEAVEN TOO. But Christopher Isherwood’s GOODBYE TO BERLIN, Mary Renault’s PURPOSES OF LOVE, and two thrillers, DEATH IN THE HOUSE, by Anthony Berkley, and DEATH PAYS A DIVIDEND, by John Rhode, go well too. —The Observer (April 16).
