I missed the show, how did 'No Time For Goodbye' fair?

 

I was in asda today and bought:

 

The Outcast by Sadie Jones

The Pirate's Daughter by Margaret Cezair Thompson

East of the Son by Julia Gregson

 

I have only some of Richard and Judy's reads, I don't go out of my way to buy them but the ones I have bought, I have enjoyed.

I turned the telly on just in time to see them put the book down and go onto the next item :) - however as it's one that I'd like to read I'm sort of glad I missed it in case Richard said too much - as he does at times.:) I think I caught Judy saying that it was her favourite out of this year's batch.

Judy,Nici, I think you will both enjoy 'No Time for Goodbye', I won't give anything way (like I would?:)) but it is a great read. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.:)

I'll wait for it to come into the library and give it a try then - looking forward to it, it sounds a good read.

 

I can send my copy when I get the chance Judy x

That's very kind Gyre - thank you, however I'll wait, as I have a number of books out on loan at the moment (including the book of the month Boy In the Striped Pyjamas) and need to read them first - by which time No Time For Goodbye will have arrived.

 

Thank again. It's good to hear good reports about it.

I went to the library for the first time in a while yesterday and picked up The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee by Rebecca Miller - I have nearly finished it already. I certainly wasn't sure where the book was going in the beginning and I find it's 1 of those books that keeps you reading although you're not sure why! :D

 

I've finished reading it now and actually it all came together for me at the end and I have to say I loved it!

I'm currently reading The Outcast...oooh, it is just so good. Really elegantly written prose, with great emotional depth. I'm finding it quite harrowing actually - can't bear any book that features physical or mental cruelty towards a child, so parts of it are hard to read as I feel so sad for the characters.

The only criticism I would make is that there is a LOT of plot told on the back cover. I wish the blurb could have been more opaque, instead of giving so much away, would have made for better surprises. but hey...
