Hi @internrachel @julia1

I’ve just got back from holiday so have a couple of booms I want to mention. On Monday morning I finished off Landing by Emma Donoghue which is 336 pages. It is about Jude from a town called Ireland in Canada and Síle, an air hostess who lives in Dublin, Ireland. They meet on a flight that a reluctant Jude takes to England and keep in touch and the novel follows their relationship as they fall in love and try to keep a hold of that despite all the odds (the distance, past relationships, the cynicism of themselves and their friends).
What I like about Emma Donoghue’s writing is her ability to adapt. I have read Landing, Room, The Sealed Letter and parts of The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits now and they are all very different; both thematically and stylistically. I’d say out of these Landing is the lightest of her books and perhaps the easiest to read. You do grow to care about Jude and Síle but also understand their doubts about each other and wonder if they will, and even should, get together in the end. I suppose it is a ‘romantic comedy’ as it says on the blurb but that’s not all it is.
Landing poses the question ‘is love enough?’ and whilst it offers no real answers is an enjoyable journey all the same.
