2022 book 201

 Victoria Goddard’s The Return of Fitzroy Angursell

Rereading more Goddard books in preparation for a new one coming next week! In this one, which follows the events of The Hands of the Emperor, infamous poet Fitzroy Angursell sets off on a quest, begins to reunite with some old friends, and learns the importance of a good pair of socks. This one always takes me a couple of chapters to get into, because the narrative voice can be (purposely) overwrought, but once the plot gets going there’s a lot of wry humor and nice feelings and friendship to carry me through.
