good books

The Children Act by Ian Mcewan, 2014. Very good writer... none of the characters are very likable but they are believable. Story is pretty grim. Obvioulsy well researched, the role of a judge in the kind of cases she deals with. Good book.

Finished Richard Flanagan's The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Very good book, very hard to keep going through the POW camp, but worth it. No black nor white, war is insane and leaves horrendous scars.

Tried to find a light mystery to read after these, but Adrian McKinty's Michael Forsythe books are full of gore! Am not going to continue with them. Dead I Well May Be

So have started another heavy going book, Where all Light Tends to Go, by David Joy, 2015. Another great writer - southern US. Suspect it's not going to end well for his criminal characters.
