| This would be a fairly ordinary novel about a young woman trying to find herself, but a good dose of wacky British humour makes it anything but ordinary. Zara leaves her repressive home in Reading with little in mind except to get away. Although she has her own apartment, she has been too close geographically to her mother, whose marriage has fallen apart. Zara doesn't get very far and ends up crashing a party in Litchfield at a house occupied by a somewhat secretive young man named Alan. Zara's family seems to be anything but ordinary, and Alan's neighbours also seem out of the ordinary. Strange things seem to be happening around the Litchfield house, and Zara meets people who are even stranger than those she has known before. Good characterizations make the story come alive. Along the way the author also takes stabs at modern technology and social trends.
Recommended for readers who are looking for something a bit different. | | |
