Just finished The Abortionist's Daughter by Elisabeth Hyde - it's a tough one as it is a page-turner and well written but predictable and has left a niggly sense of dissatisfaction :welcome2: Possibly a very good writer who is writing in the wrong genre......

 

Next - a novel from a dog's perspective :D

Ok. I've just finished Matt Haig's book The Last Family In England - a novel about modern family life told from the perspective of Prince a black labrador. I think this is a marmite book, you will either love it or hate it and to love it you probably need to be a dog lover too!

 

We have a black lab which made this book more enjoyable and helped me continue after I got a bored in the early chapters. I found that if I read this book in large chunks then it continued to work for me but read slowly a few pages at a time ... it loses it's credibility.

 

I did enjoy this book but it was infuriating, slow and depressing at times... but an interesting idea.
