In truth, for me, Jane Austen’s ‘Pride
and Prej’ is more comfort food than meat for me, a book I can pick up
and read with enjoyment any time, despite having read it countless times
before. Yet there are many, many writers who other folk rave about but whose
style of writing leaves me cold. So it is very good to see that within this
small but varied band of Prediction participants, each of us is
well-entertained, week after week, by the others, despite our variety of
voices. And for her conjuring up a ‘shy
shadow’ in this latest well-voiced instalment of her Captain’s tale, I declare
Antonia this week’s winner.
