This is sitting on my bookshelf just waiting for me to pick it up! I shall make it my next priority, immedietly after the trashy thriller novel I am reading about a psycho-maniac trying to restore monarchy to Russia after major plastic surgery to mask his former psycho life. I'll be far more sophisticated in about two days...
THE EXILE. Really, its a rediculous novel, but its wholeheartedly captured my attention. It will make you laugh out loud and then sneak it into the bathroom so no one knows what you are reading...
I looked at Amazon to find it and there are about a zillion novels named "The Exile" including Pearl S Buck (I'm sure THAT ain't it!), and one about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and one about an LA cop, and one about students running a newspaper in Russia (close!) - but I didn't find the enthralling book you're reading!
Oh, its by Allan Folsam, the same guy that wrote The Day After Tomorrow. I will just stick my copy in the mail for you....you can pass it on when you are done with it! It's a perfect no-branier read (I warn you that it may enduce cravings for vodka and blinis).
Light, wry, humorous and filled with an appreciation of humanity. A sweet read. Highly recommended

ReplyDeleteJill - Thanks for sending it to me. It was indeed kind of trashy, but LOTS of fun to read! Vodka and blinis anyone?
