Read the review for We Need to Talk About Kevin: A Novel (P.S.)
It is an enjoyable read. I will bring it up next time and let you borrow it.
Need to talk about your proposed trip to France and Italy - I want to start looking at accommodation in France. xx
My note below related to what I picked up as a review for Winton's 'Breath' - don; know how, but I thought was yours - must have clicked on a connection without realising. Anyway, it is worth reading. Have finished the Carlyon book - will have to buy you another copy I think as I want to hold on to this. It will end up with markers and tags when I (we?) go to the Western Front next year.
Isn't it a great book? So glad you read and loved it! You write such extensive reviews - I'm always impressed - but how do you find the time? By the way, the Carlyon book is truly wonderful. I need to get my own copy and post tags on it for my trip next year. I thought I knew a bit about the western front - and I did - but reading this is incredibly evocative, whilst still rigorously historical. It's brought forth tears a lot more than once - to say nothing of a fiar bit of anger as well. Mary
I'm interested to find out how your found the Carlyon book - have you read / finished it yet? I need to borrow it from you when you have done so - but want to know your response.
How are you finding the Carlyon book? I saw someone carrying it at the airport yesterday and it reminded me that I want to read it - specially as I am keen to get to the western front next year. Let me know what you think.xx
