pickAnother fantastic book from Sarah Moss (which I put off reading for ages, for superstitious reasons).
I love her fierce intelligence, and her insight into what makes families tick.
I've seen reviews elsewhere complaining of its being another book by her about "woke middle class people". (Yeah, and Jane Austen just writes about marriage, right?)
It's about parents being faced with the mortality of a child.
pickLovely days reading and finished this one 😁
I‘m working my way through Moss‘s back catalogue that I haven‘t read.
There‘s not much of a plot, but beautiful, insightful writing as always.
I‘m on a day reading retreat in a hotel in Liverpool 😁
This book was ponderous and annoying. I picked it for my book club and was almost immediately sorry. But I persisted and finished it!
The Wild Inside doesn‘t make a lot of sense and contains animal abuse that isn‘t contained just to “the wild.”
Burn had an interesting premise but didn‘t really live up to it, and I‘m probably done with Peter Heller.
The Darkness was great until the ending, and that‘s all I can really say. 🤬

pickAfter an attempt to kidnap a student at Miles Flint's daughter's school, the principal asks him to find out who the would-be kidnappers were and to beef up the security system at the school.
For a novella, this story keeps the reader on their toes with shifting sympathies all the way through.
