The exiles in love (by Hilary McKay)
(Amazon UK link)
I’ve been enjoying rereading some of the books by Hilary McKay. She’s an author for children whom I discovered about fifteen years ago when another blogger recommended her excellent ‘Saffy’s Angel’.

And I’v Read more of this blog post »

I enjoyed this book, which features a close-knit family with likeable, well-rounded characters. At least, it's close-knit until the father, Kip, makes an unexpected decision which devastates his wife Louisa and their three adult children. The novel t ...more |

Yes, it's chick-lit. There's nothing particularly deep in this book, and the overall plot is somewhat predictable. However, the characters are well-drawn, varied and likeable, and the writing - as I expect from Sophie Kinsella - is good. Her character ...more |

| A character based family novel, set over a couple of decades, as we see children grow up, and adults grow old. There's not much plot as such, but lovely main characters. What I had not realised, the first time I read this, is that it's a sequel to th ...more | |

A warm, character-based novel that's mostly set on a farm. Freya is the main character, uncertain what she wants in life, but full of ideas and inspiration. Perhaps some of the situations and outcomes are too neat and tidy, and there's not much tensio ...more |

| I wasn't expecting to like this, as it's - unusually - in 'graphic' format. Lots of cartoon-style images in boxes, with text mostly in speech bubble, all in capital letters. But once I had become used to the style, which was initially hard to read, I ...more | |
