Just finished Benny and Shrimp; I wouldn't have chosen it at a bookshop as she is an unknown author although the blurb on the back of the book is intreging. It takes a while to adapt to the rythm of the alternating voices, but its gentle pace draws you in. However I feel it slows down even more part way through and loses the reader, but I kept reading gamefully to the conclusion (no I won't reveal it!!) Is Katarina a country girl or a townie? I'd love to know; her sharp observations of the hardworking life in the country leads me to imagine the first.
