Small Pleasure by Clare Chambers

BATB score: 1/10

It’s a bad mystery book about a ‘Virgin Mary birth’, a bad rom-com about 40s love, a bad and slow novel in general. Urgh meh.

Best to: the book tried to link to two real life incidents -1955 virgin mother and 1957 Lewisham train crash; or were you trying to be a really bad historical book?

Best as: nothing really, oh the book cover was of a nice design - wait a minute, the title has nothing to do with the book!

Best for: nobody, just skip it

Best quote: “Never before had she considered that all these experiences that had nearly demolished her had built her into something better.”��“The journey into love was so effortless and graceful; the journey out such a long and laboured climb”
