Started Poor Cow from 1967. I'm surprised how efferty-jefferty it is for the era.

I've read all of Anita Brookner's books for some reason, couldn't tell you what happened in any of them...
Surely Wolf Hall qualifies?

I think so. Remains of the day, paddy Clarke, last orders: don't know how many were the *best* but I've enjoyed quite a few

Paddy Clarke is really good NO. Having overlooked it when it came out, I read it for this challenge and was glad I finally got round to it.

I love Roddy Doyle. I haven't read one of his that I've disliked. The Woman Who Walked Into Doors also excellent.
