'A Far Cry from Kensington' by Muriel Sparks 

Have you read 'A far cry from Kensington?' by Muriel Spark? A member of the DMU community has, and they found it to be "Elegant, Satisfying, and Well-plotted"!

Before, during, and after reading it they felt "Engrossed, Intrigued, and Amused" ... want to read this book for yourself? Find it on the main shelves in the Kimberlin Library at 923.914 SPA. You can check here first to see if it's out on loan.
