In a nail-biting finish, What Was Lost beat This Book Will Save Your Life by just one vote!

We'll be chatting about What Was Lost on Tuesday 31 March from 8pm to 10pm. Hope you can join us!

Don't forget you can order your copy here

And, for anyone who missed out on the vote here were March's book choices and this is how Book Club works.

I liked the original cover actually... much more than the second, which is too stark I think IYSWIM

I don't like either of the covers!

The first one is ugly and unhelpful; the second looks like a cheesy thriller imho.

I also thought it was one of the best novels I've read in the last few years. The first part of the book was brilliant not only for its humour (I laughed out loud on page 1), but also for the way it makes the reader love Kate, which then creates a real sense of loss throughout the rest of the book. Funny, sad, atmospheric, original. I'm also looking forward to reading the author's next book.

Tillybokclub, Did we ever get any answers to our questions from Catherine O'Flynn?

DutchOma · 28/04/2009 08:48

Tiillybookclub, obviously

Here DutchOma! (hows that new little GC doing then?)

Thanks EPPM. I was a bit disappointed that my question didn't get answered, probably because I didn't ask it in the right 'format'. Never mind.
Dgd is doing fine, I have made her a dress to go to her first wedding in, she was very unimpressed when we tried it on, hope she doesn't cry all during the reception. She looks a real poppet in it though.
