You're all getting excited and I have no idea who she is. What sort of books does she write and which book do you recommend I read first?

She wrote The Time Traveller's Wife AMAZING! Essentially this was a love story (to me at least ). No idea what the "theme" is of this book, but the reviews are looking good.

Do you think it will live up to "TTW"?

EccentricaGallumbits · 01/10/2009 22:46

I think it's about a pair of twins left a house next to a cemetary by an aged aunt. and the relationships with the people who live in the house and the graveyard.

or i may have dreamt that.

if audrey hasn't used it i'll do that one.

That sounds intruiging EG...I'd like it for hols next week, but a bloody great paperback would surely tip my Ryanair baggage allowance overboard?!

I had a peep at the blurb in smiths today and was very tempted to buy it. Def one for the Christmas list.

It's my birthday today and, amongst the traditional pile of birthday books I get from DH, I found the very book.

I have purchased this off amazon for my DH to give me for xmas (I know, he's crap) but hope i'll not be tempted to read it before then! RoseBlossoms, even a really really really bad book by Audrey Neiffeneger would be better than a Dan Brown.... Dan Brown = Elizabeth Duke at Argos, Audrey Neiffeneger = Tiffany's.

It's free from the library. You just don't get to keep it.
