(Unsticky by Sarra Manning)
Grace is dumped by her awful bf in Liberty's right by the Marc Jacob's handbags, yet almost simultaneously she is swept of her feet by an rather pushy yet strangely intriguing older man... The twist lies in the affair that he proposes and the lengths to which Grace would go for love and money... 

Have just DEVOURED this and now unfortunately have a Grace shaped hole in my life. If your mourning the lack of summer here in England or jetting off to somewhere where summer translates as heat you HAVE to read this.

I am reading...

This is especially fitting, considering that today is International Women's Day, but as I mentioned a while back, inspired by the wonderful lectures given by Patricia Waugh, I am doing a little feminist exploration. This wonderful snippet of Woolf is based upon a lecture that she gave at Girton College  Cambridge and is a pleasure to read. I spend a heck of a lot of my time puzzling over intricately worded articles and it is such a relief to find something which is more of a musing on matters than a analytic thesis. I've also started on  de Beauvoir's 'The Second Sex', which is slightly larger than I had anticipated and therefore may take a little longer to peruse... in the mean time I think I will be reading a lot more of Woolf!
