After seeing Sophie King a.k.a. Jane Bidder talk at a writers’ talk recently, it made me tempted to read some of her work. The first The School Run
, I finished today. Telling the story of seven families sharing the same school run, it follows a week in their lives. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion, as the majority of the characters spiral out of control, a bit addictive but a bit disturbing at the same time. A good book if you have children yourself, other than that you might not ‘get it’.
I’m now reading her second, Mums@Home, I may possibly go into Sophie King overdose, reading two back to back, but Mums@Home has an interesting premise about parents using an internet parenting forum, something I’ve used heavily in the past.
