I've been a compulsive reader, writer and theatre goer all my life. My book blog is here: http://alittleteaalittlechat.wordpress.com/ Mostly food at the moment but also knitting is here: http://cathyingeneva.wordpress.com/
Sorry, my very dear Michael Frayn, but this book is a serious piece of wankery if ever I saw one.
There is also a dreadful piece of proofreading, a whole page appearing at page 76 and then again at page 96. Page 76 is entirely missing, it is correctly placed at p. 96, should you possibly care.
