Sadie Jones's moving story of young Lewis's struggle with the emotional crippling delivered by family events and (quoting another review) "communal failure to take responsibility for a troubled child" is both absorbing and beautifully written, without any sentimentality. I was a child in the 1950s, it's hard to believe that Sadie Jones wasn't there as well! Her evocation of the period is admirable and inaccuracies of detail are minimal (eg British police cars had bells not sirens, and a girl would have worn stretch slacks not jeans) and certainly don't detract. The parallel and horrifying portrayal of the Carmichael family is entwined with that of Lewis to such an degree that the reader alternately hopes for and dreads the resolution of Lewis and Kit's ...

This is not Mills and Boon - neither is it Hemmingway - it is a good summer read that deals with the minutiae of the lives of these women in India in the between wars period where catching a good husband meant everything. Don't expect too much and you will be surprised how much you want to turn the page !

5.The Road Home by: Rose Tremain June 12, 2008

"The Road Home" is one of those books that succeeds in making you look at the world around you with new eyes. It's the story of Lev, a widower who immigrates from an unspecified country in Eastern Europe to the UK in the belief that it will be easy to find well-paying work there and thereby support his mother and child back home. Instead he finds that London is both considerably more expensive and less welcoming than he anticipates. Eventually he does find work and start to build some friendships, but it's far from an easy journey for him. Rose Tremain makes us care about Lev and acutely communicates his loneliness and isolation. Occasionally he does things that we don't like, but he still maintains our sympathy and interest throughout. In fact, all ... Read More:

I was looking forward to this book and have to say - what a let down!! Its not normally I read a book bad enough to compel me to write a review. As others have said, there is no real plot, no 'said' journey and no character development. In many parts the book was confusing, alluding and hinting to things (not the gory bits) that should have been easier to follow. I'll stick with Dickens.

8.The Private Lives of Pippa Lee by: Rebecca Miller June 12, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.86 You Save: £4.13 (52%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.25
Then I threw it away. Not a worthwhile read really, I felt, it seemed all too shallow. As another reviewer has said there wasn't much 'private life' about Pippa Lee! I wouldn't pass it on, the book felt messily written and formulaic. Sorry, I would have liked to have given it a good review as it was highly recommended. Perhaps it's just that I've never met anyone remotely like Pippa. Or her disappointing husband. You may love it though.
