Firstly, what a fabulous shed! Wood fire, faux fur lined benches, wine, nibbles and lovely delicious brownies. What more can a book club ask for. A venue to be recommended. Thanks Rona.
The book was generally liked although some found that there were a number of loose ends. A good Gothic read which entertained although slightly lost it's way at the end. An editors meddling someone suggested. It scored between 5 - 8. Words to describe it -imaginative, a compelling read, rollicking yarn, fascinating drama, shallowly Gothic.
Our member from Japan also managed to read the book in time to make a contribution from her blackberry while on the sun drenched shores of Saipan. Are we jealous? As she made her contribution in the face of such hardships I thought I would quote it in it's entirety!

"Wow I finished a book. Not sure if you will get this mail as James's blackberry is having trouble
here in the middle of the pacific ocean. Well I finished the book and enjoyed being under pressure to finish. Quite a good story but not brilliantly written got a little confusing at times maybe that was my falling asleep reading it or was it the sun and beach! I did enjoy it though and would give it a 7/10. Your next job is to find Saipan and where your long distant bookclub member is! Keep choosing recent books and I may be able to read another book!
Not sure what is happening about the house in France but may well be there in August.
Don't drink too much its only Wednesday!!!!!
