Links for the Next Meeting - How The Light Gets In by MJ Hyland
An article in the Financial Times about the 'Cat Bin Woman' written by MJ Hyland - it's interesting that The FT used Hyland to write about someone's life spinning out of control
Some (obvously positive) reviews on MJ Hyland's own site
"A female Holden, just as cynical and sensitive, but with less self-conscious verbiage"
& a negative review on Amazon
"I could not engage with this character at all and found the book uninteresting. It might appeal to a similarly disaffected adolescent, but it seems a rather dull account of teenage angst. Isn't life so unfair!"
