My favourite book of April was Mavis Gallant's A Fairly Good Time which felt a bit like a sequel to The Dud Avocado. Fleeing to Paris and marrying a French intellectual might have seemed like a good idea but . . .
I plan to read more Gallant this year!

so-soWhile I loved Witches of New York and was excited to spend time with these women, this fell short of expectations. The characters are wonderful, but this reads like an outline of a story rather than something complete unto itself. I'm a big fan of the novella form, and believe a lot can be packed into a small package, but this just felt like it needed to be fleshed out. A great concept for a return to these witches, but a bit soulless in execution
My favourite book of March was this quiet collection of stories about growing up on the Canadian prairies in the 1930s. By the author dubbed Canada's Willa Cather.
