So although Marilla of Green Gables begins in 1876 with a short prologue in which Matthew and Marilla decide to ‘get a boy’ to help around the place, most of it is set in 1837–8, with Marilla taking a break from her schooling to assist her parents, Hugh and Clara (it’s no coincidence that these are the names of L.M. Just like Anne, she wanted to know the story behind that offhand remark. McCoy was inspired by the brief moment in Anne of Green Gables when Marilla tells Anne that John Blythe used to be her beau.

However, just like with ‘White Teeth’, I enjoyed ‘NW’ more than I thought I would. Inevitably, some readers will find this frustrating. I n many parts, the story felt either unpolished or even unfinished and reads more like a series of snapshots than a coherent linear narrative. It contains various characters, events, places and relationships and yet there is only the barest hint of a real plot which hangs it all together. It is one of those books where it’s difficult, if not impossible, to pin down a genre on it beyond the hazy realm of literary fiction. Reviews of ‘NW’ on various blogs have been decidedly mixed and I can see why. Over a decade after her first novel was published when she was just twenty-five years old, Smith now offers us ‘NW’, another ambitious and sprawling novel which focuses on four thirty-something characters – Leah, Felix, Natalie and Nathan – who all grew up on the Caldwell council estate in north-west London and find that their lives continue to overlap many years later. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would but it did have a few flaws. I gave a slightly mixed review of ‘ White Teeth‘ by Zadie Smith last year. His latest client is a woman who’s nearly as unpredictable as the site itself-and maybe just as dangerous. Vic Serotonin is a “travel agent” into and out of Saudade.

Years after Ed Chianese’s fateful trip into the Kefahuchi Tract, the tract has begun to expand and change in ways we never could have predicted-and, even more terrifying, parts of it have actually begun to fall to Earth, transforming the landscapes they encounter.

I find that in spite of his similarity to a host of other wisecrackers (Elvis Cole comes to mind), he has enough depth that he remains interesting. And he'll have to do some work on sorting out his relationship with his partner as well.We stay in Patrick's head for the entire novel, so events and people are filtered through his perceptions, and we get to know him better than the other characters. No doubt he'll make some slow progress on it in subsequent volumes. Patrick has father issues of his own, which complicate the story, and which he resists dealing with. Locating Jenna takes very little time, but she is gunned down before she can tell Patrick the whole story about the justice she seeks.Patrick and Angie, along with their hired gun Bubba and an assortment of policemen, become involved in a gang war between Jenna's son and his father.
