JudyB Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Currently reading: Meanwhile Street by Miranda Glover It's early morning and Meanwhile Street thinks it's waking to a regular Wednesday in May. Soon a disconcerting sound alerts Maggie and Gordon that something's not right. Throughout the day neighbours bear witness to a series of apparently unrelated incidents that, by midnight, leave a solitary fifteen-year-old running for his life and a Polish girl preparing to flee London for good. It is Thursday before anyone knows that events have culminated in a single, heart-wrenching tragedy. In the aftermath, kids and adults from all backgrounds are forced across their thresholds to confront one another and the community they share. Love and trust, courage and cowardice, hope and despair, are all challenged, with some extraordinary and surprising consequences. (Synopsis taken from Amazon). So far, so good Quote
Inver Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I'm sure I contemplated picking this one up recently....see how you get on with it. Quote
NovaLee Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Ooh, sounds good. Looking forward to your review. Quote
JudyB Posted October 4, 2009 Author Posted October 4, 2009 Hi LovesReading - it's fiction. It came in to the library in the new books pile - thought it looked good so took it home - enjoying it so far. Has anyone read Once Upon a Time in England? That was one of the best reads for me this year. Quote
Janet Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 No, but I'd like to. I nearly bought it a few weeks back in Waterstones 3 for 2 offer but settled on a different title in the end. Quote
