Henry James, 'The Ambassadors', last read forty years ago. I'm reading it for an online [social media but NOT X] reading group to which I belong.

Having been disappointed with The Left Handed Booksellers of London a few weeks ago, I returned to a more familiar author for the next read; Tom Holt and "The Eight Reindeer of the Apocalypse", much better! Now on the 8th Rivers of London book, "Lies Sleeping" by Ben Aaronovitch.
Once I get back home from holiday, I'll resume working on my 3rd novel. Book 2 will be published on 14Jun2024 🙂. Publicity will be in place before then too!!Best regards,
Jonathan

The Hate You Give, a coming of age book whose narrator is an adolescent black girl who is driving with a childhood drug dealing friend and watches him being killed by a policeman during a routine traffic stop. The story rises above trope-ism because the narrator lives in a gang infested ghetto but commutes to a largely white private school and has a white boyfriend who lives in a house with black servants. She feels as if she fully doesn’t belong to either milieu.
