The Books of Rachel

Almost a full complement of the book club members! Including our youngest member and her parents, she was so lovely and well behaved - where does she get it from? Welcome also to our newest member Boos (Amanda) Meader, we do hope you enjoy our eclectic book club. A thin title for a gossipy evening!

The book - most of us found the book interesting historically as it flitted through time, at speed, with each change of Rachel and her turn with the diamond. As the book covered so much history characterisation was thin and story lines slightly contrived. As someone said - this book is definitely 'of it's time, you can feel the late 70's in the way it is written'. About half of us finished the book, with the other half struggling to finish.
Marks out of 10 - nothing higher than a 4, words to describe it: too Jewish, dated, shallow, lacking depth.
