I enjoyed the factual aspects and was quite charmed by the central character but found the symbolism very heavy-handed and the minor characters unconvincing. So, overall, interesting enough but not a book that I could enthuse about.<br />I was a member of a female book group and male friends wanted to know what we were reading so we formed a group with friends and partners from Peter's work to avoid evenings where they talked shop. We call ourselves the 'FAB' group, standing for food and books. Everyone brings a contribution to supper. It has been running for about fifteen years and is always a really enjoyable gathering.

It made me laugh out loud but I doubt very much that the neighbours were pleased!<br />My blog suggests that I live on a diet of pavlova but it isn't the case. Apart from high days and holidays I try to eat a low GL, almost vegetarian diet in order to avoid problems with my health.

The book sounds interesting. What was the consensus? I am in awe that you have a couples book group. I have suggested it a few times and find no one else thinks it is a good idea. It seems to be strictly a female thing over here. Have a wonderful week.
