I was quite excited to meet Christine again. In “An impossible marriage” we learned not only about her failed marriage, we also learned about her failed friendship. Here, in “The last resort” we are about to learn about another friendships of hers. Pamela Hansford Johnson is on her best again - witty, sharp, making clever observations, deftly playing with words and her characters which by the way seemed somehow so selfish, self-absorbed that I couldn’t force myself to feel for their troubles and unhappiness. Not that I was much enjoying the character of Christine itself. The girl is grownup in some aloof and a little bit callous person - it’s clear even though all her “worries”. Hmmmm.
