unneverving book
Zoe Heller, What Was She Thinking; Notes on a Scandal, 2003. Narrated by a dreadful controlling woman who is telling the story of a total flake of another woman, there are no redeeming qualities in either of them and yet the book is compulsive reading. Or listening. It certainly is perceptive and well written but it’s not a pleasant experience.
Bought this book yesterday, Spinning Wool, beyond the basics by Anne Field, 2010. It’s a beautiful book that I’ve had from the library, hope it will help me learn to spin.
I did enjoy listening to Michael Robotham’s first mystery, The Suspect, 2005. A detective, Joe O’Loughlin, really a London psychologist, loves his job and loves his family but he’s got troubles; Parkinson’s and someone trying to destroy his life. Good plot, good characters.
