OK since I went offline in the big move, my recent reads have been...
My latest reads have been
The Young Wives Tale by Adele Parks This book is told from four different people's perspective. The same story told in different ways, with varying inflections and priorities. I loved it, it is a great read and shows marriage, relationships and parenting from in several different ways. It is funny and sad and I really enjoyed it.
Goodnight Beautiful by Dorothy Koomson which I think I should have loved more than I did. The story is about Nova whose 8 year old son Leo is in a coma after falling ill. She has never disclosed who is his father, and yet he is the spitting image of her best friend Mal, who she has not seen for several years. It's a sweet little book, but it didn't really excite me like some of her other books. Not really sure why.
Finally, I have been listening to The Broken Window by Jeffrey Deaver. This is a fantastic book and has literally had me sitting in the car listening to it to find out what happens next. Well worth reading or listening to if you like crime and thriller novels.
