The News Where You Are

Author: Catherine O'Flynn
Stars: 5
Review by: patco81

British news anchor struggles with issues of aging and mortality, family relationships, job competence/control and, ultimately, the loneliness of the individual in a society determined to replace/revise the past. An interview with the author included in this edition is enlightening, as are the food-for-thought discussion questions. I also recommend Ms O'Flynn's first novel, What Was Lost, a beautifully-written account of a tragedy.
