The Uninvited Guests, by Sadie Jones
I started reading Loving by Henry Green a little more than a week ago -- just after finishing Sepharad. I always find it particularly hard to pick a book to read after I finish something I've really loved. Sepharad left me in a mood and I didn't want to break it. I had read a few pages of Loving a month or so ago and found it wasn't what I was in the mood for at the time, so set it aside. After Sepharad I thought maybe it was the time, but in a week I labored through 100 pages and decided to set it aside again. Meanwhile, I picked up a copy of The Uninvited Guests at Housing Works and I decided to switch from one manor house drama to another. While I didn't totally love The Uninvited Guests, it was a fun read and the break I needed. I'm not sure whether I'll go back to Loving.
