I have just finished the book Nice Work written by David Lodge. In the book we are following two persons with different lifestyles, Vic Wilcox and Robyn Penrose. It’s the very different characteristics of the main characters that make the book interesting. Vic is working as Managing Director at an industrial factory and Robyn is an English lecturer on a university, and she has a very feministic ideology.

These two people meeting in a project where Robyn should ‘shadow’ Vic in his work once a week. At first the relation is strict formally, but it develops to some thing else; love. I thing the book describes how it many times are in the real life. People meet some one that they first don’t think is attractive but as time go and they learn to know and understand the person, feelings come up.

The book has a happy ending; Vic and Robyn go to gather and became a couple. Love overcome Robyn’s feministic view, Vic’s pragmatic attitude and the fact that he was married when Vic and Robyn met each other. I would probably never have read this book if I didn’t had to because of the English course. Not because the book is bad, it is actually a nice book, but because I never prioritize this kinds of books. I read economic books, political magazines and detective novels. But I would certainly recommend this book to any one.

Over and out.
