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.

2008-09-01 A wake up call

A fascinating critique of Dutch society - one which many of us have long-regarded as 'perfect'. Buruma strips bare what he portrays as a smug middle-class and affluent nation which has never really openly dealt with its problems. Be they decolonisation, immigration, sex, drugs and surprisingly religion. What's clear though is that of all immigrant groups, Moroccans - NOT Muslims - are the least welcome and the least integrated. Buruma lays the charge that it's not Islam that prevents their integration, but a mixture of Dutch arrogance and Moroccan village culture. The book has its faults, notably the author - himself Dutch - is quite smug and he often doesn't analyse, rather he relates. Still, this doesn't take away from an excellent account of the phenomena of political assassinations in the Netherlands.
