Every day/ Is silent and grey.

DANCING WITH MULES
MORAG PRUNTY

Irish chick lit. (Guess I'm in the mood to travel.)

Not as good as Fielding. About on par with Weisberger and Keyes. Better than Ahern.

Lessons learned:

1. It's only the names that make chick lit differ from country to country. London's Bridget is Dublin's Clodagh. (Is Bombay's Arti.)

2. Why do all chick lit novels look the same? Funky typography. Fashion illustration-type women doing one of the following:
a. gossiping,
b. reading,
c. balancing toddler on hip,
d. sipping coffee,
e. drinking copiously at a bar.
Is there some sort of template they hand out to chick litterateurs?
