Books MEG MCCLURE TYNAN Loves
Meg likes a good novel. Historical fiction by Michael Faber and Rose Tremain tell stories of intrigue in historic England. Henry James shared the glamor and drama of life for Americans abroad. Patricia Highsmith's novels offer suspense and mystery in mid-century England and Italy.
The Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber
"I remain obsessed with that book tho it didn't come out until I was in my early 20s."
Restoration by Rose Tremain
"The books of Rose Tremain are great adventure/historical fiction novels." This one is set in the time of King Charles II.
The Colour by Rose Tremain
Another one by Rose Tremain, set during the New Zealand Gold Rush
Portrait of a Lady by Henry James
Henry James inspired me to think about the expat life.
Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith
Patricia Highsmith's book inspired me to think about the expat life.
Growing up in the Midwest, Meg McClure Tynan envisioned herself living a glamorous city life. Ever since her first trip to Europe at 18, she was “single-mindedly focused on getting back whichever way possible.” Today she lives in London, sings her way across Europe, and experiences "that euphoria that people get when they come abroad for the first time over, and over, and over again."
