The Chemistry of Tears by Peter Carey

I read this March 2013
Why: Waterstone's Arc Bury St Edmunds Book Club for May

This is the first Peter Carey I have read, I have Oscar and Lucinda n my guilty shelf awiting reading.

What I thought: If I did not know that Peter Carey is a man I would have said this book was written by a woman.  It was a strange book to read as every time I got fed up with it , the corner seemed to turn and it became interesting again. The story centers around a mechanical duck (or swan as it turned out). Written using 2 narrators one in the present day and the other in the 1800's.

I neither liked or disliked this book

5/10 - I shall give O&L a try.
