bookwormery Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I've just started Marina Lewycka's Two Caravans, which I'm very hopeful about having enjoyed the deservedly popular Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian. A few weeks ago my boss gave me Joe Hebden's : Muffin Heaven, which follows an attempt to open a cafe-cum-community centre in a remote rural location in northern England. The fictional story is quite topical because it touches on the issue of Tibet, though not in an overtly political way. I found the book funny and full of interesting ideas; you really get a flavour of the unique countryside, and a strong feeling of compassion for the 'human condition'.

The Library Nook Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Muffin Heaven sounds an interesting book, I will look it up. I too loved Short History but haven't got round to Two Caravans yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
