I do like to read but I'm not reading anything right now. I wish
I wasn't always so busy.

I know sometimes I am to busy to read myself. But I am hoping to
read more since my girl is out of school. So far I have been
busy cleaning and doing yard work.

What is that about?
[/quote]
From Amazon:
On her first day at a new school, Lily befriends Eva and her
sisters Beatrice and Heloise, daughters of the infamous
avant-garde painter Evan Trentham. An only child from an
unremarkable, working-class family, Lily has never experienced a
household like the Trenthams'--a community of like-minded
artists Evan and his wife have created, all living and working
together to escape the stifling conservatism of 1930's
Australia. And Lily has never met anyone like Eva, whose
unabashed confidence and worldly knowledge immediately draw her
in.
Infatuated by the creative chaos of the Trenthams and the
artists who orbit them, Lily aches to fully belong in their
world, craving something beyond her own ordinary life. She
becomes a fixture in their home, where she and Eva spend their
days lounging in the garden, filching cigarettes and wine, and
skirting the fringes of the adults' glamorous lives, who create
scandalous art during the day and host lavish, debauched parties
by night. But as seductive as the artists' utopian vision
appears, behind it lies both darkness and dysfunction. And the
further the girls are pulled in, the greater the consequences
become.
With elegance and vibrancy, THE STRAYS evokes the intense bonds
of girlhood friendships, the volatile undercurrents of a damaged
family, and the yearning felt by an outsider looking in.

It's about a man who is a butterfly collector who kidnaps a
woman and holds her captive. It was one of the influences on
Thomas Harris' book The Silence of the Lambs.
