The Ballad of Peckham Rye: 1960 **

Image result for the ballad of peckham rye

Such a shame to start on Muriel Spark with such a poorly written book. Peckham is the location of Dougal Douglas, a ruffian intent on causing havoc from every man and woman he meets. He explodes onto the scene, charming, insulting, fighting and ruining lives as he goes, all with a smile on his face. I was seriously bored by this book, but I might try another Muriel Spark to see if she improves.
