I look forward to them, because while I enjoyed <em>The Housekeeper and the Professor</em> I really loved <em>The Diving Pool</em>. I loved the subtlety and slight creepiness and am always a fan of the short story form as well.nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816358571437309223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-51144221002549947762010-03-31T01:47:37.579+08:002010-03-31T01:47:37.579+08:00Hopefully the success of The Housekeeper and the P...Hopefully the success of The Housekeeper and the Professor will mean that more of her work will be translated.
