Hot MIlk
by Deborah Levy

book cover


What an interesting book! On the surface it is a story about a mother troubled by many ailments, many of which no one can seem to diagnose, that result in her not being able to walk all the time. She and her adult daughter, who has put her life on hold to care for her, leave England and go to Spain to see a doctor who may be able to help her. But this book is really about a relationship between a mother and daughter, and about people coming to terms with themselves. But what really makes this book special is the writing which is so descriptive and engaging in a way I have not found before in a book. A definite must read.

The Strange Library

book cover


I took this book out because of the title, but, in fact, there was very little to do with a library. The story centers around a boy who goes into library to look up the answer to a question that occurs to him. Once inside the library, he meets strange people and winds up in a strange unpleasant place. The book seems to suggest that all of this happens because he has trouble saying no to people, but that is never further explored. And upon his return home, supposedly after at least several days or weeks have passed, there is no reaction to his return from his mom. This may be better as a young adult read.
