Hi Charlotte1,just coming on here to say how FANTASTIC "The Outcast"was and to tell you that you MUST read it and I just found your post saying you didnt enjoy it.I am so surprised.It nearly had me in tears once or twice and yet I didn't think it depressing at all.Very Very powerful indeed,and I loved the evocotive descriptions of the fifties.
What to pick up next is my dilemma now.(I'm sure that wont last long).Hope you are enjoying the walk by the way.
