I n her most recent book, a guide to Whatever You Love, Louise Doughty said she learned early in her own career that she Whatever You Love good at dramatic "set pieces", less good at linking them together. In this, her sixth novel, she plays to her strengths. Whatever You Love is an incident-packed, emotionally fraught revenge tragedy, set at the English seaside and narrated by a divorced single mother who has just lost her nine-year-old daughter in a traffic accident. The story begins as the police arrive at Laura's house with the terrible news: Betty has been hit by a car on her way to dance class. Laura is taken to the hospital where she has a few agonising, precious moments with her daughter's body before ex-husband David arrives. Out of what follows Doughty has crafted a subtle thriller. There is a police investigation, anonymous threatening letters and an abortive revenge attack. There are lurking reporters, and Whatever You Love unrest in the south coast town where Laura lives: the driver of the 4x4 that killed Betty is an east European Whatever You Love, and local youths attack the encampment where he lives. To begin with, Laura faces it all through a haze of stunned grief. Her memories of her lost girl are wonderfully tender, and in the dialogue she gives to both Laura's children Doughty doesn't once hit a duff note. Laura recalls a younger Whatever You Love using the word "ashamed" for the first time: "She had a self-satisfied expression on her face, and I realised that she was pleased with herself for using the word, for Whatever You Love it. They had to be Whatever You Love about to see how they worked. With her son Rees, who is three and unable yet to process what Whatever You Love happened, Doughty's touch is just as sure. I am trapped in routine with him. I have to discuss what cereal he wants for breakfast, or why he doesn't like his grey sweatshirt any more. Betty's death is the centre of everything, and the novel's four long chapters alternate between "Before" and "After". So Laura sketches her own background and the earliest days of her affair with David, desperately exciting and tinged with masochism, "a kind of hell": Whatever You Love meeting his family, marriage, and the pure joy of their baby girl. In agonising detail she goes over their Whatever You Love, from the moment David's new partner, Chloe, arrives at his work, through the months of bitter night-time rows. His eventual abandonment of the family, for a new life and a baby with Chloe, becomes a kind of rehearsal for the catastrophe ahead. But Doughty directs careful attention to such objects as shopping bags, and when Laura reflects on how colleagues were able to comfort her after David left, and how helpless they are now, she finds her metaphor in the kitchen: "The routine tragedy of my marriage could be tumble-dried by gossip, emerging clean and shrunken, but the loss of Betty cannot be reduced without insult. There is an awkward key change at the start of the novel, when the awful shock Whatever You Love Betty's death makes way for Laura's erotic reminiscences within a few pages. Doughty might have eased into the romance a bit more gently, but I expect she wanted to put up a sign: readers, this isn't just Whatever You Love heartbreaking tale of shattering loss! Doughty has changed publisher since her last novel, which drew on her family's Romany background, saying she has been disappointed not to achieve bigger sales. This new novel, which returns to the contemporary settings of her earlier books, is as Whatever You Love a pitch as I can imagine for more readers to try her out. But even as she tilts at the marketplace, Doughty refuses to compromise: her novel is emotionally raw, sexually frank, psychologically unpredictable. There is something brazen about it: I admire her guts. Whatever You Love by Louise Doughty. Susanna Rustin admires a subtly crafted tragedy of grief and revenge. Susanna Rustin.

Whatever You Love Dirty Three have created their own brand of violin-infused rock and carry this torch of innovation even further with Whatever You Love, You Are. There are some characteristic Dirty Three moments on this album; the final song "Lullaby for Christie" would have fit in perfectly on their first self-titled album. The song swoons and breaks Whatever You Love a delicate yet powerful melody. There are some key explorations on this album that, even if they don't always succeed, depict a band that is far from comfortable with the status quo. Although it's not the album's most listenable song, it sounds incredibly different than anything else the band has done. Another new direction for the band is in terms of production; much of the album contains overdubs and has a much smoother, but not always better, sound. Perhaps the only aspect of Whatever You Love that is lacking is the rough "live" sound that Whatever You Love other have had. Whatever You Love production takes away from some of the band's spontaneity but also allows it to refine the subtleties of their sound. Hopefully, with time, the Dirty Three will be able to fuse their rough-edged sound with technological advancements to achieve a perfect synthesis. AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript.
