It's been a while

Fay Weldon has published several books since the last time I read one, so it's time to look them up. Her Auto da Fay, a memoir of her life up to about the time she became a published author, is great for picking up and putting down, since each portion is divided into small bits, and these are often very entertaining read-aloud material. Despite her candor, she's really very kind to and understanding of the people met along the way, even those who wouldn't seem to deserve any such treatment. I enjoy her sense of humor and the precision of her writing.
