BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

 

A mixed bag, but all enjoyable.  First, an amusing reflection on a busy year of Clarissa Dickson Wright, a true countrywoman, “Rifling Through my Drawers”

Second, Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart”, the story of Okonkwo’s great fall, as a young man being compared with his father, a reflection of Igbo culture.

Finally, Tana French’s “The Likeness”, a psychological thriller, well rounded characters, good plot.
