This was a great book. I love reading books with strong female characters who take charge of their lives. I very much enjoyed reading it and I would recommend it.

I just couldn't get into this book. I was reading it for a book club so I continued reading further than I would have. However, I still couldn't finish it.

Book Favorite

"Another instance of pleasurable re-reading. William Gaddis’ first novel, mid-1950s, The Recognitions, and I remember walking into a bookstore in Manhattan and being intrigued by the striking cover design, from a 15th century Italian altarpiece. The first paragraph knocked me out and I’ve been reading and re-reading Gaddis ever since."

Been spending a lot of time reading young adult fiction... didn’t realise how dark and graphic some of the material is... makes for good reading! Really been enjoying noon-fiction to, stories from doctors, pathologists, paramedics and prison workers! What are you reading at the moment?? What are you watching?? Inspire me...
