Last Circle of Love by Lorna Landvik

Posted

I picked Last Circle of Love by Lorna Landvik based on the promises of a "funny, heartwarming story about a feisty group of women who shake, spice, and heat things up with a “recipe” book for romance".

I had not read any of Landvik's books previously, but had high hopes based on reviews of her previous writings including the acclaimed Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons.

The parts of the story are funny and heart warming, but I found it really hard understanding and 'feeling' the storyline; the many good parts just didn't gel properly. 

I really wanted to know more about the various member of the All Souls and especially the feisty ladies of the Naomi group, their partners and extended families; but I felt like the 'ABC of Erotica' came in the way and made it all piecemeal, rather than a full story. 

Having finished the book, I am left with so many questions. Did all letters of the alphabet get covered? What were the actual stories? Was there a resolution on how to deal with the two stories both beginning with C? Furthermore, we we are sort of left hanging on quite a few characters, e.g. Evan and Zinnia, Velda and Eloise, and LeAnn and Godfrey. These are just a few examples of loose threads leaving me wondering, rather than believing (pun intended).

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
