Outline by Rachel Cusk

This is a new author to me. Although fairly prolific and the winner of  the Whitbred First Novel award, I have not come across any of her works before.

This title is actually a collection of ten conversations.  I have to admit I read just five of the conversations.  If I were actually engaged in these conversations, I would probably excuse myself and bow out.

To be fair, the author's writing is impeccable.  Her descriptions of the people in the conversations are well developed and I could easily picture each person.  Perhaps it was the nature of the exchanges that diminished my interest.

In any event, I chose not to finish the book at this time.  There is always the chance that I will pick it up again at a later date and say to myself--this sounds familiar.  For now--it goes back on the shelf.

Ladybookbug!
