Changes

Naturally Tess is an object of curiosity amongst her new neighbours, and she soon makes friends with Angel, the wife of one of Ratty's colleagues. Tess is an accomplished illustrator, and there are some nice touches as she draws pictures for Angel's children, and creates new characters based on those around her. There are some interesting characters in the book, and I liked seeing how the various friendships developed. The ending was satisfactory too, albeit rather predictable.

There's not too much bad language, and the bedroom scenes aren't too explicit. The trouble is, there are so many bedroom scenes! There are also an incredible number of references to everyone's sex-life, past and present. Perhaps there are people who really do behave like rabbits, and discuss it openly with their friends and colleagues, but it's not the kind of world I've ever been part of. So reading - extensively, even if not explicitly - about fictional bedroom scenes is rather tedious, in my opinion. I found myself skimming more than a few times.

Thanks to the publishers for sending the book.
