More Susan Howatch

I have finished the second book in the Starbridge Series, Glamorous Powers, and have started the third one, Ultimate Prizes. Howatch keeps on describing men of the church ands their struggle to keep up their glittering images, to strive for ultimate prizes. Fascinating reading about the church of England in the last century.

I have read this series before, but reading it for the second time I find them even better. Written by a writer who shows a deep insight in the human minds.

Finished Glittering Images

After a busy though funny day yesterday, I am enjoying a quiet day today. Or may be I shall say quiet morning. We will celebfrate Terje's birthday this afternoon with family and friends, so there is some food preparing to do, and some house work to take care of. But in between this the time is perfect for reading.

I just finished the first novel in the Starbridge sequel, Glittering Images. I love Susan Howatch's style of writing, though sometimes I believe she uses too many words to get to the point. I have really enjoyed following half a year in the life of Charles Ashworth though, and can now start the second novel, Glamorous Powers, knowing that Charles is happy and safe.
