I wasn't sure if those books were something for me but you've convinced me to check them out.<br /><br />If you're in need of any recommendations: I've recently finished and very much enjoyed Andrea Levy's <i>Small Island</i> (about the first wave of immigrants from Jamaica to the UK; great characters and prose). Oh, and another Kate Atkinson, <i>When will there be good news?</i>Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276247486259230392.post-6742939825760098602009-09-10T10:50:06.507-04:002009-09-10T10:50:06.507-04:00To each her own!

I'm impressed that she can be that off the wall and still ring true. Usually characters like that read to me like a device.Ellen Booraemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751047743172852013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276247486259230392.post-78700931694902504782009-09-09T06:03:18.135-04:002009-09-09T06:03:18.135-04:00Ellen, I LOVED the first two books and cannot wait...Ellen, I LOVED the first two books and cannot wait for Hornet's Nest.
