Just Like a Motion picture is an absorbing novel for grownups looking through at a commencing amount of English.
Sue Leather, creator of this reserve and numerous other folks, spoke at a conference I attended.

I am a handyman, like I explained to you. I imply, I was a handyman. I labored on residences and business office properties in Toronto. Challenging work and not a ton of funds. Well, a single working day I did some do the job in Rosedale, the loaded location of Toronto. Really prosperous. I was at a home. Carrie’s residence. I met her there . . .
Brad Black, the narrator, is self-centered and greedy — but he is aware of how to make women have faith in him. When he satisfies wealthy, lonely Carrie, he decides to marry her for her money. He figures he’ll go again to his authentic appreciate, Gina, and stay fortunately ever immediately after, the moment he arranges for Carrie to have an “accident”.
