![]() ![]() ![]() As such it is a fascinating read.Ĭontext is significant in Such a Fun Age and at a time when the ‘Black Lives Matters’ campaign is making readers like myself question our own self-awareness regarding white privilege, I found myself being quite self-conscious as I read along. In Such a Fun Age the issues of what it means to be racist, who is and isn’t racist, why and how this might manifest itself is tied up in an exploration of messy real life. I wasn’t disappointed and hope this reaches the Booker prize shortlist. The story Such a Fun Age lived up to its promise. In addition, the positive comments from both the Times “A new literary star” and the Guardian “A firecracker debut” added to its appeal. Jojo Moyes’ comment “I couldn’t put this down” promoted its accessibility. As a rule I wouldn’t comment on a book cover, but the sleeve of Such a Fun Age really pulled me in. ![]()
