Orbital by Samantha Hardy

 Generally liked  with some reservations  - but short enough for that not to put one off..

Claire Keegan : Small Things Like These / Foster

 Two short books with related themes , They seem much more substantial than they look ..Very good 

Teleophone by Percival Everett

 Good but not great.  Is he too clever and enjoys writing so much that he neglects the story? Originally published in three slightly different versions we managed to source two of them...

RIambel by Priya Hein

 Generally thought to be interesting  ( the setting -  Mauritius and its history) moving  and worthwhile . Some loved it , but some thought it rather worthy and obvious.

David Lodge - Changing Places

 Amusing and a bit show-off with each chapter in a different style . Still relevant satire if a bit dated.
