Zugfahrt nach Freiburg. In Gedanken bin ich allerdings in Jamaika im Jahr 1988. Und erfahre zum ersten Mal von John Herbert und seinem Theaterstück „Fortune and Men‘s Eyes“.

Read this in one sitting. Delicious. Witty and original; a modern fairytale including a visit to a house in the woods; a selfish morality tale (be careful what you wish for); a six act play on the modern world's anger, envy and disconnection as an academic battle of the sexes.

This has been my favourite of the three Rileys I've read, though I am still pondering the title. A greater sense of carpe diem but her characters were more settled and dare I say it happier, in middle age. Great dialogue as always. I prefer John of John, but this was a good read. #Bookerlonglist
