Last Things
Jenny Offill
Not as good as the blurb. It's about an 8 year old girl with an amazing
mother who does things like turning a room into a cosmic calendar. This
interesting stuff gets in the way of the story. Mother turns out to be
a manic depressive whose ideas about bringing up a child clash with
those of the father. It ends peculiarly. An engaging read.
Recommended with caution
