There's another author I get Kennedy confused with, but it's too early in the morning here for me to think of her name. (Must have coffee soon.)<br /><br />Even more confusingly, A.L. Barker was known by her friends as Pat--which makes her the other Pat Barker, except that she should come first since she was born in 1918 and started publishing in the 1940s.SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-44064336056612410822009-09-22T03:38:40.310-04:002009-09-22T03:38:40.310-04:00I read 'Day' a while back and thought it v...I read 'Day' a while back and thought it very good. I kind of think that, apart from Day, she hasn't published a book in a while. She was a hot shot when I was working at the bookstore, and that's about 15 years ago now. But of course, I could just have failed to notice her publications come out. Yes, she's definitely worth a read.litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.com
