A review by nancyflanagan
When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson

5.0

I assume that Kate Atkinson must be an acquired taste--her books are so unique. They're intricate mysteries, characters are always connected in odd ways (the way people are, in real life), and nobody is ever perfect, strong or brave. And Atkinson's stream-of-consciousness prose keeps bending and twisting around, pulling in little bits of songs, books, history and cultural detritus. Absolutely nothing is neat and tidy, including the plot and the ending.

I do love Jackson Brodie, to whom Stuff Happens. Please let there be at least one more Jackson Brodie novel...
