    A Kindle Victim
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2011*

An Autumn Sowing may or may not be a good story. You certainly won't find out by attempting to read this atrocious edition. Far beyond a few "typos" which one comes to expect with electronic books, this is quite possibly the worst example of eTranscription that I've ever seen. Punctuation has either been replaced by various symbols, or simply thrown out the window altogether. Perhaps the oddest thing of all is that, who/whatever did the transcription couldn't decide if the name of the protagonist family was Keeling, or Reeling. They seem to have flipped a coin whenever the name cropped up, and then hap-hazardously gone with the winner. I found myself wondering if it could be some sort of odd plot device.Benson was a wonderfully entertaining writer, and his work certainly deserves more respect than it's been given here. By all means, find a worthy edition and enjoy this book, but avoid this piece of electronic abortion at all costs!

    Thwarted love, and snobbery
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2012*

E.F. Benson is best known for the Mapp and Lucia novels. Those books are campy and lighthearted. An Autumn Sowing is basically serious, although there is humor.The book is set in the early 1900's. The story concerns a prosperous merchant (Thomas Keeling) in a fictional English city. Keeling's wife is snobbish and empty-headed. Keeling hires a secretary, with whom he falls in love. Their story is the gist of the novel.Keeling's daughter provides a secondary story line. She is an "old maid" --- at 25 --- who falls in love with the new young parson, who is probably gay.There is another sub-plot, concerning Keeling's relations with the County Club. Keeling is a member of the City Club, which is composed of the local merchants. He is trying to get elected to the County Club. The County Club consists of the old, land-owning gentry. It looks down on the City Club. Keeling and his wife's relations with the local lord and lady are another story line.Frustrated and thwarted love is the major theme in both of the romantic story lines. But there is more. The Mapp and Lucia novels have much social commentary, and An Autumn Sowing is the same. Snobbery and social-climbing are presented in ways both humorous and serious. The concept of who is and is not a "gentleman" is explored and exemplified. An Autumn Sowing shows the influence of Anthony Trollope here.The pace of the novel is swift. There is a lot of story-telling in only 336 pages. The gradual way in which Keeling unconsciously (at first) falls in love is presented convincingly, in a series of small incidents. The scale is small and domestic. Most of the novel is set in either Keeling's home or his office. Both of these locales are elaborated.At the end of the novel, there is a melodramatic incident which is a bit over-the top. The resolution is unsatisfying. Up to that point, the stories are presented in a subdued and credible manner.The Bibliobazaar editon is a 5 ¾ x 8 ¾ paperback. It has a sturdy, heavy feel. The paper feels a bit heavier than ordinary copy paper. The cover has minimal graphics. There is no information other than the title and author. There is a picture of a sunset, which is appropriate to the story. The spine shows the title only, not the author. Inside, the text appears to be a photo-copy of the original edition. The text is a bit cramped. It occupies only a 3 ¼ x 5 ¼ space. There is a lot of empty space given to margins on each page.

    Great Story!...but...
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2013*

There are many typographic and formatting issues with this book, but the writing is wonderful--my favorite Benson so far. If corrections were made to the text, it would be a real treat to read this.
