About this listen
But when its pompous director, Sir Quentin, steals the manuscript of Fleur's new novel, fiction begins to appropriate life. The association's members begin to act out scenes exactly as Fleur herself had already written them in her missing manuscript. And as they meet darkly funny, pre-visioned fates, where does art start or reality end?

"I read this book in a delirium of delight. In Loitering with Intent, Miss Spark returns to the early flawless form of Memento Mori and The Comforters....Robust and full-bodied, a wise and mature work, and a brilliantly mischievous one." (The New York Times Book Review)

I've read a lot of 19th and 20th century novels. Sparks doesn't strike me as being amongst the best.
The writing is ordinary, dull. The story and plotting are obvious and uninteresting.
The wit or comedy is extremely stale, it hasn't aged well.
A different era, doesn't land for this contemporary reader
