A novella which I read mostly on the sun lounger one Saturday afternoon. Like I did for both of LS’s books I have read so far (Kevin, Big Brother) I love her writing style. It exudes intelligence and sometimes humour. Was disappointed by the ending at first but then cam round to thinking it was probably truest to a real life situation. Thumbs up.

I read this very quickly. M. O’F. has a beautiful writing style which is very easy to read. The book is a memoir comprised of ’17 brushes with death’. Some are more horrific and shocking than others but all of them plunge you deep into her life. Very enjoyable.
