Michele Bailey

I had never heard of Michele Bailey and stumbled across this book at a library sale. Matilda Haycastle is a Brit living in Brussels. While the city itself isn't "pictured" in the novel, you get a good sense of the international diversity that the city offers. Haycastle is one of the more believable protagonists that I've come across recently. The book is short (only 185 pages). While reading, it really hums along and it wasn't until I finished it that I wished there was a bit more meat to it, perhaps more local flavoring. Overall I highly recommend the book to someone looking for a quick read....… (altro)
