The Informers

As I wasn't at the meeting on Thursday night I haven't got full notes of what was discussed, so enclose some comments sent to me:
Mandy - Re The Informers - Interesting and atmospheric but in the end over long, suffering from being a translation.
Rona - didn't enjoy last book at all lost the entire plot several times doubt if it would make any more sense in Spanish, but willing to believe it might be , I am by nature an optimist!
Cindy: I agree with Mandy about The Informers. Intriguing at first, but I lost the plot, literally and figuratively, toward the end. I haven't managed to make it to the end yet.
Rowena: I also haven't made it to the end, not sure I have the will to make it there!
Boos: Sorry!
(No need to apologies - you haven't read some of the ones we've selected - much worse, Love of Stones anyone?)

Lovely Thai at 209 Munster Road - definitely one to recommend, love the owner! Mandy got on famously, I really want to try her version of bread sauce!


Next book based on the fact that 3 out of 5 voted for it:
Toast by Nigel Slater
