I was all set to write my initial thoughts on Jonathan Franzen’s long-awaited new novel (short version: good as usual; very much a page-turner; oddly similar in plot and characters to another novel I’m currently reading – eerily so. More on that later), but then I walked back into the living room after dinner and was confronted with THIS. Many thanks to Cleo for snuggling with Purity and giving me an excuse to call it a night. More soon!
