    Started with OldFilth last year and I can’t get enough of Jane Gardam. The most brilliant writer of the twentieth century. Why is she not world famous? Loved The Queen of the Tambourine , two books of short stories and I am currently reading A Long Way from Verona. So clever and so hilarious.

    This was a good enough book, but I believe the author writes in a somewhat naive way. Also, she doesn’t seem to know much about Labrador retrievers, of which one is portrayed as a snarling guard dog. Labs, as a breed, aren’t like that. They’re goofy and loveable. Ms. Locke is somewhat better with human characters.
