A Man Goes to See His Daughter’s Play. Turns Out It’s About Him.
In Jo Hamya’s second novel, “The Hypocrite,” a 20-something playwright puts her absent, aging writer dad on blast.www.nytimes.com
This is an excellent read. So funny and brilliantly written. I am 90% of the way through the book and I am on tenterhooks as to how it ends. I care so much for Gary, Emily and Grace.
A lovely light cheerful read to distract from global eventsANYWAY I am reading PROPHET SONG
I’ve only read The Little Friend. I can remember very little about it other than it was a weighty tome. I’ve had A Secret History on my ‘to read’ list for years, but I’m put off by the size. I’ve yet to hear of someone who didn’t say it was brilliant though.Just finished Donna Tartt’s The Little Friend
A Secret History and The Goldfinch were two of my very favourite books in my twenties. I don’t know if it’s this book or I’ve simply outgrown her but my God, this one was a SLOG.
Not yet!Has anyone read OUR EVENINGS? I would but I don't think I can stick another one where OUR GREY BEARDED HERO ends up SHACKED UP WITH A MUCH YOUNGER MAN which I get the impression is going to turn out to be the case
