I started reading it, but it was way too sad. Some books are sad, but you can get past it. This one is probably too well written for that.

Auckland Writers' and Readers' Festival

The Writers' and Readers' Festival in Auckland - I went, I saw, I laughed. I had the good fortune of attending sessions with two very witty writers: one was Alexander McCall Smith (he of the Mma Ramotse fame), the other Sandi Toksvig (a comedian turned writer). To top it all, a workshop with Elizabeth Knox. Who could ask for more? I could and I will: can we please have Lee Child next time?
