      "People go travelling for two reasons: because they are searching for something, or they are running from something." That quote is an excellent introduction to Lucy Clarke's novel - Swimming at Night. The opening pages introduce us to Katie - who has just received news that her younger sister Mia is dead. Mia took off six months ago to travel the world. The police say she committed suicide in Bali, but Katie cannot accept that verdict. When the police return Mia's backpack, Katie discovers Mia's travel journal inside. Impulsively, she decides to travel in Mia's footsteps, hoping to find some answers. Clarke tells the story of these two sisters in alternating chapters. This format consistently grabs me - I always want to read just another chapter to see what happens next. Clarke explores relationships in Swimming at Night - friends and lovers but most significantly - that of the sisters. Each sister remembers their childhood, their growing up years and their relationship as adults. Katie is the sensible, stable sister - Mia is the wild child. With every chapter, Clarke drops a few more hints as to what triggered the rift between the two. "She hadn't told him about the terrible argument she's had with Mia. She hadn't told him of the hateful, shameful things she'd said. She hadn't told him about the anger and hurt that had been festering between them for months. She hadn't told Ed any of this because there are some currents in a relationship between sisters that are so dark and run so deep, it's better for the people swimming on the surface never to know what's beneath." Excerpts from Mia's journal exposes even more - lies, secrets, hopes, dreams and - more clues as to what really happened to Mia. I'm sure Clarke must have a sister - her exploration of this often complicated dynamic rings true. Both of the sister's narratives were equally compelling and well written. Certainly, I stopped more than once to consider my own relationship with my own sister. Clarke is an avid traveller herself and this showed in the lush descriptions of settings of Australia and Bali. Water is used very effectively as a metaphor for many aspects of the sister's relationship. Definitely a recommended read - and especially for book clubs

      Barely a novella, not much more than a short story this is a tale of social integration - a topic still of great importance some 9 years after Gents was initially published. Ez (Ezekiel) Murphy is a Jamaican imigrant settled in the outskirts of London. He takes a temporary job as a cleaner of the public toilets somewhere near Charing Cross. His two colleagues (does it really take a staff of 3 to clean toilets? I've never seen permenant cleaners in london toilets! only one of several casual errors that litter the book) Jason and Reynolds are also of Jamaican descent and they have a comfortable rapport working together. Ez quickly comes to realise that, as the council puts it, it is a "habitual place of assignation" by those all of whom Jason depicts as "reptiles" - cold of heart. Again an unlikely depiction of the variety of the human race. This has consequences, most of their turnover, is of this nature, and if they act agaist this behavior then they have less customers and no matter how clean the facilities are, they will be closed. Jason, Reynolds and Ez, all have different attidutes to solving this problem - which doesn't take long. The writing is light, sketched characters, and almost no description - the dialog is filed with jamaican patois which is irritating to read, but not complex. Unfortunetly the details are also littered with errors, even 1997 public toilets were more expensive than 10p. The minimum wage has never been as low as ?2/hr as Ez's son is claimed to earn. etc etc. However the short story is also enjoyable. The engaging Jason, and Ez's moral quandries are worth reading - for all of the hour it took to complete this book. It could easily have been made more complex and longer, but it is perhaps better that it wasn't. A quick excursion into the problems and life of communities of imigrants in London, and an unusual spotlight into a english subculture makes it worthwhile.
