your lucky day

Relative Strangers is a quiet, unassuming short novel, small in scope yet large in emotion. Dunedin author Emma Neale details the claustrophobic world of domestic yearning, one in which the strands of work, love and passion seem to separate rather than unite. As in an Anita Brookner novel, hers is a neat, circumspect world revolving around conventional lives and heartaches. Neale successfully handles her subjects – particularly the age-old one of adultery – in a way that is fresh and timely.

Three central characters feature in this novel, Neale’s fourth: Chloe and Allan, married for eight years, and stranger Colin. Chloe and Allan have recently moved from Wellington to Dunedin, where Allan has a lectureship in the zoology department. Allan is frequently away on business and Chloe is consumed with their infant son Hugo (who, it turns out, she went to some secret lengths to conceive).

I like the review of Jessica on amazon about this one

Quote:
I don't know how many other expectant mothers experienced this, but practically from the moment I realized I was pregnant six months ago, I had no attention span. Once an avid reader who could go through a book a day, I was stopped in my tracks, unable to finish a page a day. I've been able to read a few things here and there but finally with this book I was (almost) back to my old routine.

This book is such a quick, good, light read, I would recommend it to any mother - expectant or experienced. I really enjoyed reading about Sophie's experiences as a new mom (since I have nothing to compare motherhood to and no idea what to expect) and I was happy for this (what I think is realistic) insider look at the challenges ahead. And it was definitely a nice change to read about someone who feels just as clueless about pregnancy; babies and baby care as I do.
