In the novel Bookworm, the main character Victoria channels her frustrations from an unhappy marriage into fantasies about her husband’s death. Here are some hobbies that Victoria could have taken-up instead.
Creative Writing
Victoria clearly has an active imagination, making up stories about every person she’d see at her favourite coffee shop and indulging in flights of fantasy relating to her object of affection, fellow coffee shop patron, Luke. She could have taken these creative inspirations and wrote some stories.
