Just A Girl

by Jane Caro

Reviewed by Jessica

Just a Girl was an interesting historical book, but I think it's for a much older age group. QUC needs to re-define the age group: it's not suitable for 12-14 year-olds. My mother very much enjoyed this, so I think the book should be for uni-students studying Elizabethan history, or 20+. 

The Marriage Plot

by Jeffrey Eugenides

Reviewed by Catherine

Author of Middlesex and The Virgin Suicides, Eugenides latest novel is a fresh and contemporary portrayal of modern love. Madeleine Hanna enrols in Semiotics 211 in her final year of her English major and discovers that love, life and literature are intertwined. The work brims with intertextual references to contemporary pop culture and classic literary texts. This novel is smart, witty and engaging. Highly recommended.
