I read another Beryl Bainbridge as a palate cleanser after Jude the Obscure.
Every Man for Himself is the best book of hers that I've read so far. I wasn't too keen on Young Adolf but I found this really hard to put down. It's basically Titanic but with a bit more going on. If you've got a soft spot for the film and still have the images from it burnt into your mind, having this play out in the set that's already familiar is great.
