Attack of the cyber women

LIFE LINES:
Two Friends Sharing Laughter, Challenges and Cupcakes
By Deborah Duncan and Cathy Le Feuvre
Authentic. 230 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978 1 860 249 303

This book is a conversation in cyberspace between two Christian women, in their 40s, one single, the other married, sharing details of their lives and friends with each other. It is easy to read, chatty, humorous, and sarcastic in places.

I’m not a fan of getting truth across in fiction, which probably says something about my age and I didn’t become a great fan of the book as I read more. At least the authors aren’t pious and sanctimonious – far from it! I wondered if I was getting a typical view of middle-class British female Christians: man-obsessed, cynical of church, catty?
