[Magdalen] Favourite books from 2024?

[Lesley de Voil]

Can I count the Christmas present, even though I didn't start reading until
New Year'sDay? It's a James Patterson ( whom I have to admit I had never
noticed before) - The House Of Cross.  Not only did granddaughter look at
the map of Washington inside the cover, saying, " Ooh, that's where the
hotel was,  here's where they held the  meetings, and we went to the
Library of Congress over here....", but the whole story is about a post-
Presidential election interregnum period that felt just so apposite, it was
uncanny, particularly because much of the action takes place in the snow,
and I do recall what it was like to travel in January to see Fr Tony C when
he was  living in South Bend! I didn't need much imagination, even though
it was high mid-summer here.
