Welcome to Litsy!

I liked this more than the other Simon Armitage collection I read recently! This is all prose-poetry, weird little stories. I didn't LOVE it, but I think I enjoyed it.

Seems I requested this and couldn‘t remember why. Looked back and saw that in June @CarolynM had mentioned it was her best read for June. So I requested it from library. A great read. Reminded me of Ben Elton‘s books. Taking events of the day and weaving them into a story. This is set in Britain and includes the politics during covid and beyond. Mysterious deaths . Crime , my favourite genre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A satirical political mystery written in three distinct sections, set in current times with many flashbacks. The plot had some interesting twists. I was surprised by who died and later the cause of death.

5 emphatic stars for Adam Bede!

Random book from our personal library.

This is one of the worst Tess covers because it portrays Tess as a seductress, which is just not accurate, and because of the sentence, '...a woman's unwilling fall from virtue'. That's called rape, Mr. Book Designer in 1955 and you obviously haven't read Hardy's subtitle: 'A Pure Woman.'
