text For discerning readers who enjoy books about the human condition

text Writing in the Dark: Essays on Literature and Politics
This was one of those books I had to force myself to keep reading. I kept hoping it would get better, but it didn't. Bland writing, bland story. Perhaps her later books are better; she did write a whole series of these so some people seem to like them. This is a review for a different book by Sue ...
