Well despite nearly falling asleep a couple of times in the hairdressers I became sufficiently gripped to finish the book when I got home. :grin:

I got the gist of the ending but cannot say I liked the book. Far too weird for me. :confused:


Back to a Phillipa Gregory book for me tonight!

Congratulations to all on your tenacity; I'd have given up to it weeks ago.

It arrived yesterday P and I've started on it. Thanks for the heads up. It's brilliant, hard to read but good enough to force me to try. I was talking to my favourite economist Martha yesterday and she tells me that Stiglitz, Piketty and Paul Krugman in the NY Times are having an impact on the teaching of Economics in the US. Encouraging.....
