My cousin Kathy told me to read Barbara Vine, who apparently is not content being just Ruth Rendell ,she has to adopt a pseudonym to write more books. Well there is no shame in having written the Grasshopper, she is a very fine writer. Apparently when Toni Morrison is finished writing a novel she turns to Ruth Rendell ''You marvel at the economy and this choice of words,'' Ms. Morrison said. ''How many ways can you describe the sky and the moon? After Sylvia Plath, what can you say?'' .What can I say? It's a story of a girl who has a tragic accident while climbing electric pylons and her life afterwards. It's filled with dread and menace but immensely readable. She is a very good writer. Thank you Kathy and Toni.
