There's absolutely nothing like losing yourself in a book,particularly if you find yourself feeling particularly impecunious (it's the week before pay day) and your local library is well stocked. Muriel Spark's The Girls of Slender Means has shown itself to be the perfect cure for pre-pay day blues. What with a dashing anarchist turned Jesuit, a Schiaparelli dress, and escapes through windows onto a roof for romantic trysts. All combined with Spark's wittily raised eyebrow, suspicion of religion and disregard for sensitivity towards those with fat knees. Perfection.
