OK...so maybe I went on a bit of a bender with Kate Atkinson. But she really can tell a good story. She assembles a multitude of characters and then just throws them up in the air and spins them until they all neatly land in place and you put the book down. She has the ability to be very light and dark at the same time. I have one of her earlier novels, Human Croquet, still that I haven't read. I think though I am going to retire for a bit and save it for later. I have to leave something for my old age besides Proust and Patrick O'Brien.Monday, February 2, 2009
