Brilliant Debut Novel - Gem Squash Tokoloshe

Didn't want to be a priest

I'm tired and I'm upset. I would not be a priest in a confessional if my life depended on it. F-in-law (the real one, the well meaning one, the one i like) has just told me a load of stuff about his marriage to my m-in-law I now realise i can't tell my husband, because to do so would be to stir up strife and upset and acrimony... so i'm left with the knowledge and i'll have to lie by omission. Thanks a fucking bunch f-in-law, glad you feel better.
