We don't exchange presents with adults /brothers SIL etc, just buy for kids - nephews and nieces.
But my lovely, lovely SIL is newly split up and I wanted to give her something. Will see her kids next week and can send something back for her to open. She and kids going on holiday for Christmas, so I thought I'd buy a book.
Found one on Saturday, looked good dsytopian setting, based around the effects of an extreme education system. I opened in randomly and thought it read well. (called Q by Christina Dalcher for anyone who knows it?)
Came home and had a closer look, First line is - How long do you stay in a bad marriage for the sake of the kids? And the book is not only about this dystopian society, but also tracks the downfall of her marriage!!
So, bugger, can't send that.
She is a serious reader, probably read all the major releases of 2023. Would read things like the Booker prize winners.
What can I get her that is a little more obscure, so she's less likely to have read it, and which is NOT a romance or about a marriage??
I have amazon prime, need ot order by tomorrow.
Help mn please!
