The Cat Sanctuary Tekijä: Patrick Gale

An accidental violent death of Deborah's husband brings her to stay with Judith, her sister, and Judith's partner Joanna. With unresolved family tensions, resentments and secrets, it's a tricky period. OK, but not my favourite Gale.

Kansas in August

Disappointing for a Patrick Gale book. Gay Hilary finds and takes home a baby. His lover Rufus becomes the lover of Hilary’s sister. Too many improbable plot elements for me to believe the story.

The Aerodynamics of Pork Tekijä: Patrick Gale

One of the strands of the story follows a family, sans its father, on their usual summer stay in the country, and the other a policewoman in London investigating a series of crimes related to astrology and predictions of the future. The thing in common isn't obvious for a long time, and the overall impression I had was one of confusion.
