The new Claire Fuller! I was not crazy about Bitter Oranges, but liked Our Endless Numbered Days enough that I'll definitely want to try this one.
I loved your description of your family dinners. It's always reassuring to me as a parent to be reminded that there are so many good ways of living together as a family. I much too easily get caught up in what I think I "should" be doing...
I've never read Fuller, but I'm curious so I'm glad to know your opinions on her books. And thank you :) Yes, I spend lots of energy on worrying I'm not doing things right...
Crazy, right. But people are so judgmental and punitive about parenting! Bitter Fruit should have been just my thing (sort of Sarah Waters-y, a little Daphne DuMaurier), but I found it a bit forgettable. Still I remember her first book vividly, so...
Impressive list! I am a huge fan of Almada. So enjoyed this one that I also read Dead Girls as soon as Charco published.
Yes, I don't own a copy of Dead Girls, but I'd love to get my hands on one.
