This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic at The Broke and The Bookish: Top Ten Characters Who X, where I get to determine X. So, I’m going with X = Live in London.
The first five characters will be from books I’ve read:
1. Rebecca Seaton from River of Fire by Mary Jo Putney. My impression of what it’s like to be an artist in London (albeit Regency London).
3. Sara Crewe from A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I fully expect a pet monkey to save the day should I encounter any problems in London.
4. Frank Doel, the London book dealer in 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff. Shopping for books in London sounds like heaven!
5. Bridget Jones of Bridget Jones’s Diary. Completely defines my expectation of what it would be like to live in London in modern times.
The next five characters are from books I want to read:
Alexia Tarabotti from Changeless by Gail Carriger
Clarissa Dalloway from Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf.
Lord Peter Wimsey from Whose Body? by Dorothy Sayers.
Richard Mayhew from Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
Who are your favorite characters that live along the streets and alleyways of London?
