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!
