Books Galore
I have just finished reading Joanna Trollope's Brother and Sister. It was very disappointing compared with some of her other books. It took a long time to get started and when it did the reader could hardly care a toss for the central characters. Hardly anyone in the book is truly likeable except maybe David who certainly is the most dignified.
I am now reading The Blue Bedspread by Raj Kamal Jha. It is written in a glorious prose style and set in Calcutta. The protagonist is a lonely misfit whose early life was coloured by an incestuous relationship. As an adult he finds himself caring for his dead sister's child.
I am on a mission at the moment to mix the classics with the reading of modern literature. I usually tend to read a lot of the Booker Prize nominees.
