I'm impressed by the free association of Jaffa. I've eaten a lot of Jaffa cakes and never made this connection. I might once or twice have thought of Jafar, the villain from Disney's Aladdin, but I suspect my mind works differently to the author's.
The only review I've read of it was in a newspaper that is getting more tediously politicised by the week, and it criticised the book for rambling in a review best described as "rambling". But if it's all like those excerpts, I'm not overkeen.
In fairness, I did recently read a short article by her which seemed entirely reasonable. It was politics, so I won't link to it, but it concerned a crime so outrageous that any decent person would condemn it (which she did, unsurprisingly).
