# A group wiki-novel was undertaken as an experiment. I looked at it but didn't participate. Alice Fordham at the London Times writes about the results.

# Peter Hitchins writes a devastating takedown of David Cameron and the Tory Party this weekend. Yikes! [Mail]

# A Brit Book which has a Miami component!

*Narrated by the thirty-something, divorced, shambolic Claire, it tells the story of her search for her missing brother Daniel, which leads her to their childhood home in Miami. With the help of some outrageous Floridians, she finds more than she bargained for: a series of family secrets that turn her life upside down.*

The 40 yr old author was a pop idol in her youth.
