On
Women's Hour today (Thursday 13th) Jenni Murray, Philippa
Gregory and Mavis Cheek discussed the growing phenomenon
of "Matron Lit" or "Hen Lit" or whatever
it is they're calling it these days.
Disappointingly
in our view it didn't really address the issues we'd hoped
would emerge and the whole movement was dismissed as a "clever
marketing ploy".
While
we're over the moon that Philippa thinks we're clever, we
were slightly taken aback when the view was expressed that
"women simply don't want to read books like this".
If
our website membership is anything to go by then we must
reluctantly disagree with their proposition but we'd like
them to hear it from you.
So,
I guess the question we're asking is, do you want these
type of books?
