Well I finished The Children Act by Ian McEwan which was typical of his books. His writing is very descriptive, I enjoy his style. I liked but did not love this story about the High Court judge who presides over complicated and usually intriguing family battles. The story had a few twists which I did not expect and I wish a few plots lines had been resolved differently but overall I enjoyed the story.
This is the latest book we are reading about the secrets buried within
the lives of parents at a primary school. The story centres around the lives
of 3 women and their husbands and children who all attend the same school.
The story ends badly for someone because there is a death at the school trivia night.
I'm not enjoying this book, it is very lightweight and I just want to find out which one of them dies! I think if it was me I would of killed off half of the characters by now. Skimming through to get the end so I can read something better.
Next on our list is Richard Flanagan's The Narrow Road to the Deep North for which he won the Man Booker Prize this year.
