Miss Garnet’s Angel
Sally Vicker’s first novel apparently caused a bit of a stir, although I don’t recall hearing about it myself. It’s a pleasant read, very gentle but not to the point of being boring; the characterisation of the heroine is strong, and she carries the story over a couple of bumps that a lesser creation would trip up on. I found the conclusion a bit unsatisfying, but not to the point of spoiling the entire book. Assuming that the reader can swallow stories incorporating angels and suchlike phenomena as pivotal plot devices, it’s worth a read.

Trolled by my own wife; I can’t decide which of us is sadder.

I read it EVERY DAY. I just couldn’t think of anything interesting to write, bar that I’ve got Miss Garnets Angel and another one by Sally Vickers, and while she’s a really nice writer all her stories are a bit unsatisfying.

Aw, thanks Ames.
I shall endeavor to write things that people can reply to in future.

Well, it turns out I did have something to say, it just wasn’t very interesting.
