An ex library bk, 1of many piles I have lying arnd so it was perfect as I saw the author a few yrs ago talk abt her brill bk 'fell'. 3 teenage girls in97 are drawn into a drama just as they struggle with their emotions,10 yrs later 2 of them deal with the repercussions of events. Set in Preston she evokes the NW so well + captures the teenage voice with understanding.

4 ⭐ - I think I'd have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen the TV show first.

Ignatius p reilly is a wonderful character, who in his bizarre bright green hunting hat, large moustache + girth, an intellectual berating everything + everyone in new orleans +beyond, causes havoc as he takes a job in levy pants then as hot dog salesman. Gloriously comic and anarchic i loved this book which was both funny, satirical, and brilliant. And what a back story.

Somewhere between a pick and a so-so. The story is a pick, the writing not so much.
I‘d never heard of the Rosenbergs before reading The Bell Jar, they don‘t feature in British history! They are a fascinating story though, this book also confirms the stereotype I have of late 1940s/50s US, communist paranoia and everyone smokes!
Were all women as gullible and naive as Millie in this though?
