A novel by Julian Barnes and after a very slow(dare I say boring) start it picked up pace and grabbed me as it went on.
He has a great style and I was left with a number of unanswered questions at the end which in a book of this sort should be the case. 7/10

A Priest in the House
Another novel by Emile Zola in the Rougon Macquart series.
I enjoyed this even though it was a little bit predictable-although the end was a shock. The characters were well drawn by and large and I love his descriptions of town life in Plassans. Does not rate as highly as Savage Paris in my view but still good 6/10
