I read The Marriage Club by Kate Legge, a kind of "Friends" (or friends with benefits as it transpires) for the charcoal bob set. It was disappointing. I had loved her Unexpected Moments of Love and was looking forward to this one. The main character Leith was a little unlikable, perhaps all the characters were drawn a little thinly. I guess this can be a trap of the ensemble novel.
Readings on Sunday had lots of tempting things. Perhaps its that time when the books for winter start to emerge. I had a surprising library lesson yesterday with my Year10 English class. They are readers! I found some treats for the holidays, including a Linda Olsson novel Let Me Sing You Gentle Songs which has lovely prose.
