Responding direct re the rest of your comment.<br /><br />Patricia@ another similar view. My sister introduced me to Douglas Kennedy's writing a few years ago and I have read two with two more on Mt TBR, but not the title you mention. I will add it to my wishlist.<br /><br />Vibha@ Well I always prefer to start with an author's earlier work, apart from this advice I am afraid I cannot suggest which would be best to start with.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-86221624563682094082011-02-01T12:01:24.985+01:002011-02-01T12:01:24.985+01:00Great review Lindy.

A book I recently read that I liked very much was "The Pursuit of Happiness" by Douglas Kennedy. The author is from "your neck of the woods"...a Brit and it is the first of his I have ever read. I think they are new to the US.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688846429279351574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-23681193381599506262011-01-31T16:33:20.328+01:002011-01-31T16:33:20.328+01:00I've only read one of Anita Shreve's books...I've only read one of Anita Shreve's books and I can't remember what it was called now, so it couldn't have made that much of an impression on me! I have just finished reading Amenable Women by Mavis Cheek, which was our Book Club read for this month, and as I'm actually ahead of myself for once, I am having the chance to read one of my Christmas books, which I only started last night, but I know I shall enjoy it. It's called Separate Beds by Elizabeth Buchan. That was a good Review about Body Surfing.Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-20851275361528307492011-01-31T15:09:42.661+01:002011-01-31T15:09:42.661+01:00I'm never quite sure if I like Anita Shreve...I'm never quite sure if I like Anita Shreve's books or not. I think I have only read one...and even that one I'm not sure if I've finished...so I'm probably not best-placed to have an opinion, am I?!!<br /><br />Certainly, the one I tried reading, I didn't 'click' with it. It was pleasant enough but nothing that grabbed me in any way.<br /><br />SarahxSarah @ Modern Country Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674775708432670104noreply@blogger.com
