Always enjoy Anne Tyler's superb writing and quirky characters. This is a very early one and has a rather bizarre plot that doesn't really ring true however.
Working from home day and mainly focusing on fire marshal and evacuation e-learning. Dave cooked a yummy tuna pasta supper while I carried on working as I'd started quite late.
While Dave went off to another school reunion pub meet-up, I went to see Granny's Attic do a ceilidh. They're a great talented band of young musicians but not generally known for doing ceilidhs.
Music was great but didn't always really seem to work with the dances and the caller not always as clear as possible especially now that the approach is non-gendered instructions. Loads of young people, but most with little experience - still fun though. L and P turned up and danced a lot.
I thoroughly agree about Anne Tyler. I’m currently reading French Braid, and loving it. Other people in our bookclub don’t seem to feel the same - should be an interesting discussion. I looked back on Goodreads (I read Slipping Down Life 10 years ago) and I gave it 3 stars.
@tinley23 ha ha yes same score from me on Goodreads! I'm basically working through her books chronologically and I've seen she's said herself she's not keen on her first four.
I'm also reading French Braid for book club and it's my first Anne Tyler book. I'm not fussed either way, I don't really see the point of the book @tinley23
