Hi Paula

I rather liked Zoe Heller - quite feisty, and definitely interesting. The chap interviewing her at Hay kept wittering on and at one point she told him he was talking baloney - I fully agreed! The characters in her books are certainly not particularly endearing!

Sarah Walters is pretty feisty too and she's a particularly good speaker. I wonder if they hate having to promote their books in this way.

Hope you get invited to to the post-party - sounds terrific!

Can't wait to read the books now!
