Hey - What are you reading?

Hey a few people have asked what am I reading. Well I have just read 3 compelling books in a row that have really moved me. Mudbound is a stunning book which really brings life to history - early life in America - the conflicts of life black and wife, husband and wife, siblings and parents - sounds grim but it really is absorbing. In the same book you are attracted or repelled by a character depending on who is telling the story, it really shows that relationships are multi dimensional .......we both just loved this book.

The book thief is a fab australian book that really takes a different approach - very sad in parts but again compelling writing. The Help - a real exploration of an era........the 60's came alive along with the prejudices and attitudes of a different era -Dylon , the Stones, peace marches and entrenched attitudes . Good stuff.

As an avid reader of Gourmet Traveller, of course I loved ruth reichl's writing in Tender as the Bone - and yes the recipes do work. Again The Rapture was a frighteningly good novel, that really described the craziness, of a religious community.

Finally last but not least - Peru where we will be in a few weeks - phew. Love to know what you are reading.
