When I read it ...I love The Girls of Slender Means. When I read it I think it's my favourite, but when I read The Ballad of Peckham Rye I think that's my favourite! And A Far Cry from Kensington is excellent: I'm sure you will enjoy it. Spark opened up a whole new world of reading for me - up until then my reading had been mainly based on the classics and I suddenly discovered this woman who wrote in modern language, about modern people, with no heroes or villain, and no neat happy endings. She was witty and funny while raising all sorts of serious issues, and very subversive, which I loved - and I still feel the same way.Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-60571849544793932812014-01-03T15:50:38.584+00:002014-01-03T15:50:38.584+00:00Thank you!

I read Loitering with Intent in 2013 as well - I loved the character of Sir Quentin's mother; she helped create that really uneasy blend of slapstick and darkness that made the book so attractive. I don't think I liked it as much as The Girls of Slender Means or Memento Mori, but I'm looking forward to reading more of her work - A Far Cry from Kensington will likely be next.skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-2996731373704155532014-01-02T11:24:42.679+00:002014-01-02T11:24:42.679+00:00Welcome back and Happy New Year.Welcome back and Happy New Year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-17051207237420612422014-01-02T07:12:32.374+00:002014-01-02T07:12:32.374+00:00Nomey, that is most kind of you, and I'm glad ...Nomey, that is most kind of you, and I'm glad you enjoy the posts.Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-59281105138016220232014-01-02T07:11:47.393+00:002014-01-02T07:11:47.393+00:00Thank you so much Pam.
