<i>The Shadow of the Sun </i>evocative of Rosamund Lehmann. I hadn’t thought of <i>
The Voyage Out</i>, but it would be interesting to explore. I don’t really see the cross between
<i>The Game </i>and <i>Night and Day</i>, though—but it’s a long time since I read either.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Just finished A.S. Byatt's first novel, Shadow of the Sun, a sad rather dark book. Was thinking how interesting it would be to juxtapose it to Woolf's first novel,
The Voyage Out, also about the thwarting of a young girl's initiation into maturity. The next Byatt novel is The Game, about two sisters whose intersecting manipulations of fiction and reality ruin their lives...some similar themes to Woolf's sunnier second
novel, Night and Day. This produced the following intriguing little chart (of course I have every hope that Byatt produces another few novels, which will destroy this fearful symmetry.) And yes, I do know exactly how much Byatt would detest this comparison.
Nevertheless, would love to start a reader's group of some kind to plot through these pairings. Was thinking at least a month per pair. Anyone interested? Can be long-distance. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
