Staff Pick: Frankie by Graham Norton
Published on 13th November 2024
Frankie is a great character, she is written seamlessly in West Cork, London and New York. A challenging start in life at a dark time in Ireland. Her reflections in older years bring us through her life and adventures. I think Norton has successfully tried something different in this read. Minus the murder plot and the peculiarity in the ordinary life of the small village seen in his other books which reminded me of William Trevor. Norton brings his writing into the past and to different continents. He has demonstrated a growing expertise in his writing craft. I really enjoyed this book, a great life story.
