books

Leaving Everything Most Loved, Maisie Dobb by Jacqueline Winspear, 2013. The latest Maisie Dobbs book is good, perfect car listening in that the story is easy to follow, the characters familiar. She has good plots with lots of interesting details about the class and roles of the characters, set in the 30s in London.

May We be Forgiven, A M Holmes. Good book, disasterous happenings to a pair of brothers, one a complete sociopath, the other living in his shadow. Have not yet finished it but will do so, not sure what is going to happen to either of them.

Really liked Ancient Light by John Banville, 2013. Such a good writer. Is there any difference between memory and invention is the question he is writing about. Main character is an aging actor, remembering his torrid affair with a friend's mother when he was 15. Good story. Good ending. Excellent writing.
