My last read of 2012 and it was written by friend and colleague Julie Wilson. A lovely end to a year of fine reading.

The Kite Runner
Khaled Hosseini
(Anchor Canada, 2004)
p 157
On the opposite page is “Ends” a short (short) story about a couple sitting at opposite ends of a couch and one of them noticing all the little age marks of the other before noticing her own flaws. When did this happen?
The book itself is a beautiful little object worth keeping on a coffee table or bookshelf. The paper and production quality is lovely and the contents are witty, quirky and worth savouring.
