Kell Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 This is another book that has become an unofficilal RC book i guess. It's one of theones I'm putting forward for the Posh Club's next book. Looking forward to getting to it very soon... Quote
Angel Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Jodi Picoult - Keeping Faith Courtesy of Amazon:- Synopsis Hot on the heels of her Richard & Judy smash-hit "My Sister's Keeper", Jodi Picoult's latest drama tells the compelling story of an ordinary little girl with an extraordinary gift, who finds herself at the centre of a huge media controversy. For the second time in her marriage, Mariah White catches her husband with another woman, and Faith, their seven-year-old daughter, witnesses every painful minute. In the aftermath of a sudden divorce, Mariah struggles with depression and Faith begins to confide in an imaginary friend. At first, Mariah dismisses these exchanges as a child's imagination. But when Faith starts reciting passages from the Bible, develops stigmata, and begins to perform miraculous healings, Mariah wonders if her daughter - a girl with no religious background - might indeed be seeing God. As word spreads and controversy heightens, Mariah and Faith are besieged by believers and disbelievers alike, caught in a media circus that threatens what little stability they have left. What are you willing to believe? Is Faith a prophet or a troubled little girl? Is Mariah a good mother facing an impossible crisis - or a charlatan using her daughter to reclaim the attention her unfaithful husband withheld? I quite enjoyed this book, I felt that it was one of Jodi's lighter books making it pleasant to read and easy to follow late into the night 9/10 Quote
Inanna Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 I want to get this, as well as all the rest of her books, its waiting for them to be published over here that is the major pain in the rear Quote
Angel Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Waterstones had this one for half price, when it came out in January. I noticed on Amazon that there are more planned for publishing over here but no date yet Quote
Inanna Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Its annoying isn't it, hopefully they'll over here soon though Quote
crispychez Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I enjoyed Plain Truth the most out of the books that I have read - My Sister's Kepper is still on my TBR pile. Quote
Michelle Posted February 16, 2006 Author Posted February 16, 2006 It's our Reading Circle book right now, but discussions keep going. So once you've read it, please come back and let us know what you thought. Welcome to the forum, btw - I hope you stay, and please contact me if you have any problems. Quote
crispychez Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Thanks Michelle, Not sure when I will get round to reading My Sister's Keeper but will definately post my thoughts when I have Quote
Inanna Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Just picked up Keeping Faith and Perfect Match from my library, both look good and I cannot wait to read them Quote
Inanna Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 WOW Keeping Faith is awesome, if you haven't read it I highly recommend it, its my favourite of her books so far Quote
Lilywhite Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 I have been looking out for this one, will have to be extra vigilant now.... I have read most of these books and I absolutely love them. Kat :catlove: Quote
Inanna Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 Its brilliant Lillywhite Which has been your favourite so far of hers? Quote
Angel Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 I found Keeping Faith a fantastic read - certainly one of my favourites Quote
Lilywhite Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 I must admit My Sisters Keeper is still by far the best, it reduced me to tears. The others aren't far behind though, such as The Pact, another great read. Kat :catlove: Quote
Maureen Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Kat - We had My sister's keeper as the reading circle book a while back. Did you see that? Quote
Lilywhite Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 i did, i was a bit too late to join it though. I don't think I would have minded a reason to re-read it. Kat :catlove: Quote
Maureen Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Doesn't matter. You can still have your say! Quote

Inanna Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 It took me longer to get hooked on The Tenth Circle then the rest of her books, but I am enjoying it to the point where I have hidden myself away in my bedroom to read it, leaving the hubby to deal with the kids ~ well it is the day of rest afterall Quote
Angel Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 John's let slip that I will get Tenth Circle for my wedding anniversary! Roll on the 15th when I can get stuck into it! Who says romance is dead? Quote
