No Relation by Terry Fallis ***

Fallis' fourth novel is about a young man called Earnest Hemmingway, his problems with dealing with a name so familiar to everyone, especially since he was also an aspiring writer. He forms a group of people who all have famous names - Jackie Kennedy, Mhatma Gandhi, Jesse Owens, Diana Ross, among others, plus Marie Antoinette, who runs a bakery called Let Them Eat Cake.
The story is comic, and there were a few chuckles, but I tired of it after a while, although I guess you could say I finished it.
