SueK Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Just seen on BBC that Beryl Bainbridge has died. Whilst not having read any of her books I realise she was a very important British writer. Has anyone read her books? Sad to read of her passing though. Quote
Janet Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 I read An Awfully Big Adventure - it was very slow to start with but definitely improved and had a good 'surprise' in it. RIP+ to her. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 I read Injury Time years ago. I remember really enjoying it and being impressed with the writing. Perhaps I'll give it a re-read! Quote
frankie Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 A friend of mine wrote her thesis on Beryl Bainbridge's The Bottle Factory Outing or something like that. I've never read it but I've always wanted to. Quote
Raven Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 I have a copy of Every Man for Himself that I really should get around to reading at some point. Quote
Kidsmum Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 I've heard of her but never read anything she's written. Quote
Kell Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 I read An Awfully Big Adventure - it was very slow to start with but definitely improved and had a good 'surprise' in it. RIP+ to her. I read that one as well, but found it awfully dull from start to finish. Shame she's gone though. Quote
