( ) A good novel. It is witty, without trying too hard and the tale it tells is involving and clear. Harriet, the main character, lives in north London and seems a lovely person. She is over-weight and takes on a personal trainer to get fit; this changes her life. Other characters are neighbours, friends and family of Harriet's. Alexei Sayle gives us a bizarre world with its feet in reality and its head in the clouds, providing him with all sorts of opportunities for fun. The book has a dark side, but nothing that will give you nightmares. It is clearly written and well constructed. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Northern girl Harriet lives and works on a London estate which is a battleground between the white working class plus the immigrants versus the newly arrived middle class focaccia-eaters. Unhappy and overweight, she hires a personal trainer who lures her into joining the martial arts class he runs. There she learns the regime of the completely phoney martial arts master and embarks on a spiritual and literal journey which leads her to a hotel opposite the railway station at Crewe, the Weeping Women Hotel. This is Alexei Sayle's best work to date good plot, great characters plus his trademark anarchic black humour. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
