The Private Lives of Pippa Lee

(12 Posts)
by Rebecca Miller (daughter of Arthur Miller and married to Daniel day Lewis). Has anyone read this...what did you think? I have just started it, and am really drawn in to it.
It's still sitting upstairs by my bed. I couldn't get into it at all.
I managed about 20 pages. I thought it was excrutiatingly awful - mindless drivel imho, which should never have been published. Miller must be turning in his grave.

I thought it was a strange story, but I enjoyed it because it was different iyswim. I liked the way it ended though grin

After such a promising start...I am disappointed! I thought too much of the book was flashback to the drop out life. Don't even think I will go and see the film.

Aunt Trish's partner Kat got Pippa to pose for lesbian porn photos in New York. Then she was caught by the aunt in flagrante (pose) so to speak. Also, they went to a nightclub with a bit of AC/DC going on.
Is it coming back now, Yappy BD?!

lesbian sex scenes?! I'm sure I would have remembered that

I am now at the lesbian sex scenes bit - didn't see those coming when I last posted!
I also see the book has been made into a film which is just out - with good reviews. So my final verdict yet to come..
I read it last year & to be honest didn't like it (even though it was an easy read). I thought the writing was a bit pretentious & the story not very believable. Also, I really didn't like the main character...

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
