which book has a wife killing her husband?
Nice? Biscuits are nice, literature isn't meant to be nice!This isn't nice, but it's bloody good.

I think whichever one this was in reference to:
...but from what I’ve read in the comments the books weren’t all that nice: a wife kills her husband, an estranged daughter stalks her mother, the caste system, misogyny, etc., and Paul is right, the best literature is sad and serious!
I haven't read the WP list
It was you that talked about that book Wendy - and I think you were mixing up with the Bandit Queen from the WP list
Oh my, yes it was! I got the WP and IB list confused.
Excellent review Tony. I think I want to get this.
