    Point to Point Navigation is a very weak sequel to Palimpsest (his first memoir). It might not seem so bad if read in isolation from Plaimpsest, so maybe read it first if you don't want to hate. The book came out when he had already made that kind of alcohol-bathed conspiratorial turn late in life.

    Walpole was a prolific writer, and, generally, a financial and critical success, if somewhat averse to caution and revision. His historical novels gallop right along, and certainly are readable, and it’s only at the end that you think, Wait, that’s not quite right for 17- -. For his time, he was relatively unshy about his sexuality, although, for all the obvious reasons, it doesn’t factor in his writing. He died fairly young-57.

    I hope you enjoy the Bostonians! It was an excellent read for me--but I suspect that was partly because early feminism, post-CW regionalism in America, and Boston Marriages are all special academic interests to me. Am I remembering that you read and enjoyed Henry James's Washington Square? I think you are the reader who put it on my list (or rather, up higher on my list than it was before)--but perhaps I am wrong.
