Welcome to Litsy!

The worst of the author‘s invective is against the French. It‘s a wonder this man has any friends, but then again, his wife is divorcing him and he‘s on an extended solo outing. 🧐

But his contempt for the French may be justified (sorry all my French friends). At the time he wrote this book the French were nuking Pacific islands mercilessly. France, at least at the time, was the world‘s largest supplier of nuclear weapons.

Sue! This is such a lovely surprise. I have so been wanting to read this and your package arrived just when I needed a boost. I appreciate it so much.

This is a much recommended book—recommended to me by a bookseller. This is well written and very clever. Unfortunately, the characters emote frequently and they are dull as dish water. Frankly, mostly it is boring. I could continue reading but I just don‘t want to do so.

Might have picked up a couple of books on my travels 😆 #NZFiction
