Well, I finished one last book before the clock chimed the end of Labour Day. And no, I do not have a chiming clock.
A Crime in the Neighborhood by Susanne Berne is a sort of domestic drama set in the early seventies, telling the events of a pivotal summer in the narrator's life as a young girl when a neighbourhood boy was found murdered and the Watergate burglary was all over the news. It was a wonderful, if sometimes rather disturbing, book and earned the author the Orange Prize in 1999. I'd previously read and enjoyed one of her later books, A Perfect Arrangement another "behind the doors" drama.
