Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

2002-03-22 Arrested author explains

The recent arrest of Arundhuti Roy led me to re-read this book. The first essay is the strongest and reveals the strength of feeling behind her political activism. It sounds like a dull read, packed full of figures and legislation but she combines some truly shocking statistics with her own very personal and moving reflections about the conflict of interests between world leaders and their people. The second article provides an intelligent and informed analysis of the use of nuclear weaponary within India. Again, she manages to personalise the issues and gives a truly moving account of her disenchantment and her stuggle to reconcile herself to modern day India. But the real beauty of the book lies in her love of language and the fusion of a journalistic style with the language of poetry.
