Book: Home Truths
Feb. 12th, 2005 06:16 pmAuthor: Sara Maitland
Details: (c) Sara Maitland 1993; Pub 1994 Sceptre (Hodder and Stoughton); ISBN 0-340-60968-0
Verdict: Home Truths is a rich piece of writing with lovely characterization.
Reasons for reading it: I had a friend who was really into Sara Maitland, and I enjoyed some of her short stories. I was a bit disappointed with the novel of hers I came across, Brittle Joys, but picked this up because my parents read it a while ago and found it interesting.
How it came into my hands: One of the local charity shops, I think the Brittle Bone Society one just round the corner.
