Finished An Unseen Attraction: v good, perhaps not the top KJ Charles?
John Masters, Far, Far The Mountain Peak (1957): this held up pretty well for its time. Although Masters can be a bit gender essentialist, he does do women characters who have their own agendas and their own trajectories - i.e. he does not have the Irene Forsyte problem that we sometimes note in male novelists. Perhaps had some longeurs, but that may be about me and men up mountains or in WWI trenches.
KJ Charles, Non-Stop Till Tokyo (2014) - not in the usual line, and not sure plays to Charles' strengths. It's romantic suspense, I guess - that trope in which woman who is essentially a more or less innocent bystander finds herself in deep peril? Seemed at least in the early stages a bit of running around among scenic views of Japan. Also, who in these days does not know that if you are going on the run you should ditch your mobile, stat? Okay, I was wrong in my early surmises about the Maggufin (?sp).
On the go
Still ploughing through the Inchbald bio, which is very, very, detailed.
Joanna Russ, How to Suppress Women's Writing (1983), to refresh my memory of the Russ points, for a talk I'm giving. (Why is this book not in print?)
JA Jance, Remains of Innocence (2014).
Up next
Dunno, really.
