Wait two months till I'm on vacation? Yeah, right.I've been staring at and fondling the shiny smooth cover of my copy of Sarah Waters' new novel The Little Stranger. And I just read several reviews of it, all glowing. And I've loaded it into my backpack for transport to my to-read pile at home. And it'll go on top. I don't know who I thought I was kidding but there's no way I can wait much longer.
I feel a bit sad to learn that there are no lesbian characters in this book. But I don't hold it against Waters. She has the right to write straight characters if those are the characters asking to be written. I have faith in her. I'll follow her anywhere, even into what from all accounts is a very scary haunted house.
