Loitering with Intent by Muriel Spark

4.0

Oh how I loved this. I think I've noted before that I'm a Spark fan so I thought I was on pretty safe ground. My concern again was the audible format which I feared would hamper my enjoyment, but there's just so much to enjoy in this novel that it just kept on shining through the slightly pacy delivery. The plot and storyline are both simple and ingenious. The references to the various types of text, writing, memoir and fiction are fabulous. The characters, as ever, are so well drawn and lively, and not a single on superfluous to the text. I would love to read this again for myself. There's just so much to savour.
