Do not let the Prologue put you off with its many cliches. The story takes a while to get going but if you persevere you will be engrossed in an irreverent, witty and wickedly satirical look at the art world.
The perfect read when waiting at the airport and on the plane.

Red Joan by Jennie Rooney Published by Chatto and Windus The inspiration for this book came from a newspaper article published in 1999 in The Times (snappily captioned 'The Spy Who Came In From The Co-op') in which Melita Norwood was identified at the age of eighty-seven as having been the most important and longest-serving Soviet Spy of the Cold War era. Ali Here is the perfect read for the autumn. Get the kettle on or crack open the fruits of your foraging i.e. Sloe Gin or Elderberry Wine. This is a story about right and wrong and how some time they look the same". There is a film of the novel which has should be reaching our screens very soon. Thanks to Moira who recommended this book to me ages ago. Enjoy. Ali Some thoughts on books I've recently read:
The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin Based on an interesting concept of the dead coming back in another person. Bit of a detective story in a way as a women tries to help her very strange 4 year old. Cartes from Greece - Victoria Hislop's latest book It did not enthrall me as her usual books do. I did like the lay out of the book with photographs though. Exposure by Helen Dunmore This was a very good mystery portraying the darker side of spying for the Russians in the 1960's .All based around an innocent family Lake House by Kate Morton A must read !!!!!! Three brilliant plots all entwined .Was gripped till the bitter end and still I didn't quite get it right |
