Hope you've been enjoying the fine weather! Personally I hate the
sunshine as it means I have to close all the curtains so I can still see
my computer screen.
Last month's reading group meeting saw us snubbing the sun in favour of the back room in Edin's where we discussed The Tiger's Wife. I think generally we were in agreement that although many bits
of it were wonderful, overall it seemed needlessly confusing and hard
going. Personally I hated that the author was a year younger than me.
(Boo, down with successful people younger than me. Boo!) I notice this
year's Orange Prize winner (and, I guess, final one as Orange are
dropping their sponsorship) was announced yesterday, Madeline Miller with her debut novel The Song of Achilles. There's one for us to potentially do once the paperback comes out.
In June we're denying the summer months even more by doing Snowdrops by Andrew Miller. See you there!
