I don’t expect this review to send you all out galloping for a copy of this book–The St. Zita Society, by the late Ruth Rendell. But like I always say, contemporary fiction often has a lot to teach us about our own time and culture.

True, Rendell spent her long career writing about weirdos. I think we have more weirdos now than when she started.
Which is something to think about.
