Hi again

 

Apart from Strumpet City I am listening to a book called After Mary by
Katherine McMahon. It seems to be a rather over romantic view of Guy Fawkes
and roman Catholicism in 1605. I don't know anything about the author and am
finding the book rather hard going. This is a book club read so I feel
obliged to get through it.

 

I am also reading another unknown, at least to me, author Tim Parks. His
book is called Cleaver and it is about a celebrity journalist whose son has
written a 'fictional' autobiography that exposes his father's life. Father
is trying to come to terms with what his son has written by hiding in the
mountains of the South Tyroll. So far not much has happened and I am not
sure that it is going to. I will be most disappointed if it turns into a
novel of naval gazing and not much else.

 

Steve
