"The Ice Age" by Margaret Drabble
This was written in 1977 and is one of her best I think. I had read it before and it seems still very appropriate for current times only we haven't hit the crash just yet of once again inflated property prices, over consumption, etc. The more things change the more they seem the same...
"The Wars" by Timothy Findley
This was also written in 1977 (a good year for many things...Richard was born in '77!) and I read it when it came out. Both are bookclub choices hence the re-reading. This novel left a strong impression on me at the time and it hasn't lost any of its power. Wow...what amazing writing and a wonderful depiction of the horror of WW I.
