The Sex Life of My Aunt

Rating:
Summary: I loved this book
Review: How scary this book is - I don't mean from a spooky point of view but from a realism point of view. This book made me think about adultery, life, relationships and how frail they can be. Also makes you realise that some simple actions can turn your life upside down. A great story that will have you begging for more.

Summary: not what i expected, but definitly better.
Review: I never read anything by Mavis Cheek, but I saw this and thought, "what a cute little summer read this ought to be." This book is alot more that just a May/December romance... it's a story about a woman who is emotionally, sexually and morally conflicted, which I believe all persons can relate to at some point in their lives. It's not just about an affair, it's also about sibling rivalry that can be so cruel it can manifest itself into adulthood realtionships and decisions. Dilys, the main character, really learned an enormous amount about herself and the people that are most important in her life, which often, gets completely overlooked due to the trials of everyday living.

Summary: Brief encounter revisited
Review: This book had me howling out loud one minute and quietly crying with recognition the next. The heroine is indeed heroic and quite how anyone would be able to manage the duplicitous behaviour she exhibited is beyond me, but I loved it!
I usually read much darker works than this but Mavis Cheek brought a ray of sunshine into my life and I am so pleased to have found her. More power to her elbow.
