Dorothy Carrington, Granite Island: A Portrait of Corsica
I'd been trying to get hold of this book for months, and turned Hay upside down looking for it. Saw it by chance in Woking library whilst looking for books on Normandy. I'm never sure whether it's better to read first, imagine, then visit, or visit first, recognise and read at leisure later. I must visit Corsica now; the book also manages to confirm all the granite-faced, stern, courageous, vendetta-laced stereotypes of Asterix in Corsica, my previous primary source of information on the island
