We have something of a mixed bag coming up this week. Ferrets, unlovable heroines, torture. . . but thankfully not all in the same book.
Monday: Jackie reviews a modern mystery with the misleadingly cute title of Nothing to Fear But Ferrets.
Tuesday: For the next installment of her Russian series, Kirsty writes a continuation to her previous Lev Bronstein piece.
Wednesday: Lisa tackles the pentathlon of torture that is Stona Fitch’s Senseless.
Thursday: A spirited Soapbox from author Caroline Rance, in which she defends unlovable heroines.
Friday: Mary reviews The Woman Who Walked into Doors by Roddy Doyle, a disturbing novel about domestic abuse, written by a man from the point of view of a woman.
Saturday: Leena ponders Quicksands, Sybille Bedford’s memoir of bohemian life as a German exile and late-blooming author.
Sunday: Leena is back with a review of A Soprano on Her Head, in which Eloise Ristad tells about some unorthodox ways to get past the many anxieties that keep most of us from reaching our full potential.


What cute little ferrets. I’m sure someone had to move them to make the little heart, so I’m guessing they were sleeping soundly.
Jackie, my cats (two sisters) sleep like this sometimes too! So cute!
Really? That would be cute! It looks very cozy.
