Such a lovely piece! I've heard of & read a little of Peter Wimsey - I need to get back to it! He's such a riot of a character.
The fact that this is set on New Year's & not Christmas is fascinating, since there's definitely less New Year's murders than Christmas ones (in fiction). Does anyone else know any New Year's mysteries they’d recommend?
I just taught The Nine Tailors to a class of junior/senior English majors. I’ve long loved Sayers’ Peter Wimsey mysteries and find the overarching theme of divine providence in this book to be fascinating. But my 20 students were less than impressed. Church bells (and village life and agricultural settings) were so foreign to their Southern California city-&-suburb megachurch existence that they just couldn’t “get into” the book. I was so sad about that.
A wonderful Christmas piece. My wife &I have been blessed with those whom we have been able to help & by the friends we have including two Chinese young women who we hosted as students(& now are our dear friends). Christ first loved us so that we can love others. God’s blessings to Nadya, Dan, & family.
