Here's what I read:
The Dinner by Herman Koch*
Two brothers and their wives meet for dinner in Amsterdam and as the meal progresses, a dark secret concerning their sons is revealed. This is a dark, sinister story and without revealing too much, it left me reeling...very thought provoking, fast paced and I recommend it.
Autobiography of Us by Aria Beth Sloss
Two women are friends and sometimes enemies but always a bond exists. This was a predictable read and an interesting portrayal of the sixties and seventies. It tries to be a novel about the plight of women but gets caught up in a lot of unrelated details. Many simplistic annoying characters.... Not a memorable novel but made a long flight tolerable.
The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty*
Did not finish...Started off well in an interesting setting and time period but became so predictable it was all downhill for me....
Heading Out to Wonderful by Robert Goolrick*
By the author of The Reliable Wife, this is a gripping novel that takes place just after World War 1. It has a little of everything including love, betrayal, redemption and believable characters.
Well written and an engaging story.

Too hot for this pale Scot, I suspect.
Lobster Bisque with a puff pastry crust..Divine!
ReplyDeleteComing from Massachusetts this is our favorite vacation spot in the winter and yes it is hot...but for us, that's the point.
Right now we're experiencing 12 inches of snow and freezing temps...am ready to go back!
How are the swans?
Swans are swimming about. They don't seem to do much else.
DeleteThey mate for life.. I bet you'll see some cygnets in the Spring...
ReplyDeleteAh. They'll be doing that when I'm not looking I suppose.
