My first taste of John Updike, I was enchanted by his bewitching prose. Friends have avoided Updike due to perceived misogyny but I felt he was equally scathing of both sexes here. Perfect for a book group debate as its themes have since bubble-bubbled, toiled and troubled my weary head.
(I can’t believe it took me nearly a year to write another brief book review! It’s actually really hard to limit yourself to 50 words or less, but I still argue it’s more than enough. Back on track now, more to come. If I can be stuffed… And yes, I know it’s a sin to include a pic from the movie, particularly when it differs so dramatically from the book but elements of the photo touch on the book in ways the movie never really did. So there you go.)
