Review of "The Wolf Border"

Brilliantly mixes the human and the wild, politics and ecology. A very enjoyable read. The elite remain impenetrable and aloof, but Rachel and her closest, including the wolves and the landscape are beautifully drawn.

Review of "A Pleasure and a Calling"

Really enjoyed this. Moves along at a good pace with a convincing picture of small town affairs. Possibly slightly misoginistic in that there are no sympathetic female characters (and no really concrete other male charachters apart from Mr.Heming).

Review of "Harmony"

A really useful review of the state of things and what needs to be done - which identifies a return to a focus on relationship as the key. An attack on scientific materialism and (captialistic) consumption as destructive of the cycle of life and a bit of a call to arms.

Review of "The Heart Goes Last"

Simply awful. Bad plot, bad characterisation, bad dialogue, bad sex, bad ideas. Not funny. Not clever. Not interesting. The decline of a once great author. Sad and totally pointless
