This week I am reading The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides and Night Music by Jojo Moyes
Felt compelled to read The Virgin Suicides after finishing Middlesex by the same author. Love his style and prose. Imaginative and creative writing at its best, stunning in many ways. Read a review of Middlesex somewhere that echoed my feelings "that I could never be a writer after finishing Middlesex" The double meaning of Middlesex is revealed in the centre of the novel- a novel that begins as it ends-perfect.
Half way through The Virgin Suicides at the moment and enjoying it. Not as big as Middlesex in terms of timeline represented but weighty in that it deals with multiple suicides. I like the way it is told from a different viewpoint and looking back.
I am reading Night Music alongside The Virgin Suicides and enjoying it greatly. This is a tale of deceit love and longing and well told indeed. It reads in a totally believable and plausible way and is very natural. One event flows to the next-very well told and delivered. Love,lust and longing. The Spanish House with a haunting musical accompaniment.
