John Irving is one of my favourite writers. I first read the World According to Garp when I was a teenager. Loved it!! Read a few more of his books, moved on and then, as an adult, rediscovered him. Love his work now just as much as I did then, but appreciate it more now. His book Last Night in Twisted River had the best, most completely satisfying ending I have EVER read.
I love how compassionate his books are about women. His understanding of the dynamics of relationship, but also his quirky humour, help me relate to the less ‘acceptable’ side of humans and their behaviour.

I love a good rebel.
