I read the interview on Frayn (to which Alan posted a link - thank you), and as one thing always leads to another, I looked around and read a bit about his wife, a journalist and biographer. I may be the last to know this, but she's written some very well-reviewed biographies that might be something our group would enjoy. Her subjects range from Nelly Ternan (C. Dickens' mistress!) to Samuel Pepys & Jane Austen.
If you get a free minute, check her out to see if any of her biographies sound like good book-group reading...
I'm just starting the Frayn novel myself. I read Jansson's Summer Book, which I highly recommend.
Any other good reading going on out there in gale-force wind land? It's spring now, right?
