|
A Pillar of Society |
A marvelous read, meaty with considerations of the various realities of life when it comes to human relationships; poetic and sensitive, with round characters who constantly surprise. Hamilton is full of worldly wisdom giving food for thought without being too weighty about it. It is set in a privileged milieu but one that the reader can relate to. Highly recommended for vacation and travel.

After Julia and Forbidden Fruits |
Two other suggestions for holiday reading. After Julia is again very analytical and understanding of the darker side of the human emotional drive. Alas Forbidden Fruits is much more superficial, a bit wooden and contrived and although clever seems to lack inspiration. However, as Hamilton cannot write badly, it is not bad entertainment and will while away the hours of perhaps a long train, plane or coach journey!
