I am a fineartist, a poet, historian, and a writer. And once again, Nora held me in her grip. It's only recently that I landed on the last piece THE HOUSE AT SUNSET from a second hand book seller. The story, a triology was done in three pieces, and I scavanged the other two pieces in Nairobi bookshops fruitlessly. The flow was nostalgic, and it held me in a grip. Ouma Fred posts on 1:56:19 PM I first read Nora Loft's HOUSE AT OLD VINE while I was a junior high school student in 1991. We'd love it if you would join us on the Norah Lofts site at Goodreads as well as here Isabel Monteith posts on 10:52:49 PM Hello Can anyone tell me how to contact the Estate of Norah Lofts ?īarbara Hoyland posts on 4:22:12 AM Nice to see new/old lovers of Norah Lofts -and men too! I have purchased several of her books very cheaply online from a website called 'Alibris' and wonder if this information could be useful to one of your previous message writers. I have read and enjoyed lots of her books and she is still,along with Ken Follet, one of my favourite authors. Neil Henderson posts on 5:27:42 PM I have just finished reading the house trilogy for the 3rd time after being introduced to Nora Lofts' books by my mother in the 1960's.

Yes most of us do know about Alibris and have bought some of Norah Lofts' re- issued ones. Any interest out there for a copy or shall I send it to 'goodwill'?īarbara posts on 12:53:17 AM Hi Neil, good to hear from you. Not a bad read but not an author I want to add to my collection.

The binding is fine, no real damage to the printed pages. Still highly readable, dust jacket is torn and some cover moisture damage. I have found a hard cover copy (1956 printing I think) of Afternoon of an Autocrat in a recently cleaned out basement. Rod posts on 9:01:47 AM Hi all Norah Lofts fans, I would'nt mind having it under my custody. Those folks had great taste! That book must be having the same. You unearthed it from a dwelling that once housed an aristocrat. Talking of your find, I am sure it's a great book. Sadly, Norah's book are nowhere in Nairobi's book stores. That's how I managed to get Norah Loft's 'The House At Old Vine' & 'The House At Sunset.' I hope I hope I'll get 'The Town House' to complete the trilogy. I love old books, they've turned me into some sort of a relic hunter scavenging through second hand book stalls in Nairobi. You sent my curiosity dancing with your post.
