-From what I remember, Ian, "Year Of Wonders" gets easier as it goes on,
though it's about a year since I read it.

that's the decision I came to as well Trish. I'm in one of my casting around
phases just now. I started the Peter James that Dave sent but found it too
trivial and not not very well written. Then I gave Year of wonders a go and am
having to percivere with that. And I've just bought a cheepy from the Kindle
Store which may bale me out.

Hmm! I'm not sure that I am in a quirky frame of mind at the moment, Ian,
I might keep that one in reserve for future reading. I'd forgotten about her
latest novel, though I had heard quite a lot about it. That might be an easier
read.

I started this the other day Trish but found it's narrative style rather
too quirky. I'm sure I will go back to it when I'm in a rather more quirky
frame of mind. In the meantime, her latest novel about the Pendle witches
(title escapes me) is said to be very good.

Has anyone read "Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal"? I have mixed
feelings about Jeanette Winterson, fascinating and clearly very clever as she
is. I loved "Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit", and have enjoyed some of her
short stories, but other books I've tried have been too obscure for me. I
wondered if the autobiography is worth reading? Any thoughts?
Trish.
