Trespasses – beautiful and sad Irish novel that takes place during The Troubles. The Ministry of Time – good story and writing but not earth shattering. I don’t agree with all the hype. Good Material – good writing but found it pretty hard to care about the main characters. Murder Club – despite the title, it was a good and fun who-dun-it that didn’t take too much energy to get through. The Fraud – this one is tough. I love Zadie Smith, and her writing is excellent. I found the story hard to follow though, particularly the time jumps. It is not my favorite from her.
