Loved Small Pleasures. Some of her earlier books are very enjoyable,too.

Thanks, Nicola, I have a feeling I read one ages ago. So enjoying Small Pleasures.

At the weekend I finished In Evil Hour by Gabriel García Márquez. I think it was his first novel. I recommend it, I found it more approachable than Love in the Time of Cholera.

I'm reading The Seeker (SG MacLean) on the strength of your recommendation a while back ...completely gripping!

I have been reading this blog for a few years now. You never steer me wrong. Am now on the fourth Seeker book. Thanks!
