It was controversial in our book group when we read it, half loved it, half hated it! Set in Ireland, in one house, with only the voice of one woman, it is a lovely novel, unravelling the life of Molly Fox through the eyes of her friend in a lovely, lilting kind of way. I really enjoyed it. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34059 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34059 Sat, Jun 19 2010 17:14:04 GMT I read this a good few months ago, and enjoyed it, too. I can see how it could be controversial in a book group, though! http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34179 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34179 Tue, Jun 22 2010 18:50:45 GMT Oh no yet another one for the tbr. I really miss my reading group. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34252 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34252 Wed, Jun 23 2010 21:49:07 GMT The title is really apt as I have just put some cat food out for a poor fox I saw this morning with a broken leg. He/she looked so thin, the trouble is keeping my cats from eating it. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34253 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34253 Wed, Jun 23 2010 21:51:13 GMT Awww, hope fox is ok. Maybe speak to RSPCA? Could someone come out? http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34278 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34278 Thu, Jun 24 2010 21:25:58 GMT Hahaha tell me about it! I've never been part of a reading group - part of me would LOVE to join one...part would hate to be 'forced' to read set titles...hmmmm http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34279 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34279 Thu, Jun 24 2010 21:26:53 GMT Yes will try the RSPCA if I see him again. Re reading groups I know what you mean but it can be good to be forced to read genres that you wouldn't normally bother with, I have discovered some authors that I would not have tried if I hadn't been made too. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34298 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=2241#34298 Fri, Jun 25 2010 12:08:31 GMT
