Emotions!

I guess this book could be described as bitter-sweet - some amusing avoidance of having sex (though honestly, why didn't he talk to Laura about his feelings about having children, silly man?), but heartbreaking to see the ravages of a debilitating illness such as Parkinson's. I did not expect to cry! I had expected to laugh, I remember I found the synopsis quite funny, but to cry, no, that ending came as a shock. Something I look forward to discussing in March...what would you have done? I won't say any more in case any of you haven't finished reading it.

Now on to a Sally Vicker's book - Mr Golightly's Holiday. I read one of her books ages ago, and am enjoying this one, although I think I've guessed the twist.
