I did spend the first 100 pages thinking 'wait, what the hell is going on?' - if you've read Time Traveller's Wife, it's a little bit like that. Stick with it, I don't know when or how it all starts becoming clear, but it does!Sian Meadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536919654548369387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-65563227670706642542013-05-28T13:49:52.350+01:002013-05-28T13:49:52.350+01:00My book club had a similar opinion of Harold Fry! ...My book club had a similar opinion of Harold Fry! A good concept, that perhaps wasn't executed in the best way. We felt it would be more suited to a radio series (which made even more sense when we discovered that Rachel Joyce's background is in radio series'). Life after life is on our list to read - so glad you liked it, Sian. I saw the author interviewed on BBC breakfast and thought the concept of the book sounded intriguing - cant wait to read it!

It's a great read with plenty of twists which will keep you guessing even after it ends.Cora - Tea Party Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133308447865264575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-52429919065527207682013-05-22T13:35:50.025+01:002013-05-22T13:35:50.025+01:00A brilliant suggestion of books as ever, and am ru...A brilliant suggestion of books as ever, and am rushing back to my over-thumbed L.M.
