Books
Halfway through this holiday week end, I am home for the evening.. have been out most of the day. I have finished one book and have dipped into three others– all from the library:
. ThePromise of Happiness, Justin Cartwright. An English family in Cornwall, whose oldest daughter, an art historian and dealer, has just been released from prison for “fencing” a Tiffany window. The writing is magnificent, the story engrossing, and I give it an A++.
. Teacher Man, Frank McCourt. Very disappointing, I think. He is mining all of the things he wrote about so forcefully in Angela’s Ashes (which I did like so much.)
