• I have just finished reading Tessa Hadley's Everythings will be All Right. Oh I do wish it would have been. Even though there were sentences and expressions within, which I found to be very insightful, I found the whole experience of reading the book a terrible chore.It basically was the life history of three generations of women, seen through their eyes. Their life's were full of self-inflicted grief, and it really was an account of how they got themselves into scrapes and out again, mostly involving men, and a baby thrown in for good measure (not to mention the death from meningitus). It isn't a book I would recommend, I only finished it because I set myself the task, which felt more like hard labour, and because I met the author, who I found very interesting, unlike her tale - which appears was loosely biographical tales from her family. I also took it's promise on the cover at face value... "Everything will be alright" - well I wished it had been, but unfortunately it wasn't. Shani 21.09.06
