A fairly positive reaction to the Wiggins book from those at Moy's for Book Group - Sue Wood, Margaret and me plus Moy of course. The writing was ambitious, we agreed, beautiful prose veering to the florid, with references to American Lit classics, especially Moby Dick, but also Steinbeck, Hemingway and more. This led to a comment from Ros that she loathed the top-heaviness - after a skim read. Lively discussion. Glad to dip into American Literature - Wiggins evidently an established writer, and we'd never heard of her. Except maybe as Salman Rushdie's ex-wife.
