Happenstance by Carol Shields

Catching up with a big backlog of read books, hence very short writeups.
This is two separate stories The Wife's Tale and The Husband's Tale set during the same period of time. It wasn't anything like I thought it was going to be. They are really quite loosely joined pieces and weren't originally published as a set.

Is There Anything You Want? by Margaret Forster

Catching up with a big backlog of read books, hence very short writeups.
A book that rambles through the lives of a group of loosely connected women. They are all linked in some way to a hospital clinic and in a twist of fate I ended up reading it in hospital myself. Enjoyable, but not my favourite Forster by a long way.
Borrowed.
My copy of this book is available on BookMooch.
