Bad Decisions and Bitter Pills

Sarah Wedderburn on Jacqueline Susann Valley of the Dolls

If, like me, you’re a slow reader, you’ll know what it is to choose books carefully. How I’d love to be like my university friend who could speed-read a whole whodunnit in the bath, solving the mystery before the water was cold. But because of the snail-pace of my consumption, I often feel obliged to bypass thrillers and doorstop blockbusters. Life is short, after all. So I reach dutifully for literary fiction, relying, like P. G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves, on ‘some improving book’ to inform and entertain me.

Choosing Life

Sarah Wedderburn on Sally Vickers, The Other Side of You

I remember exactly how I first came across The Other Side of You. It was about fifteen years ago. Yet another relationship had hit the buffers and I was consoling myself with a mini-break. Browsing in the airport bookshop, I spotted a new book by Salley Vickers. I was aware of the author’s psychoanalytic background, and when the blurb told me this was a tale of lost love, it drew me like a magnet. Even as I was putting the book in my bag I could feel its intensity, but I had no idea it would become the main event of my weekend.
