thousand autumns of jacob de zoet

[pipsqueak]

anyone read this book by david mitchell? cant quite get in to it but hate giving up on a book - is it worth perevering?

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/adult_fiction/1183441-Jacob-de-Zoet-worth-persevering old thread discusses it . I perservered but felt the opening chapter was best - it all gets very strange

Yes keep going - I had to read a 1/3rd of it before I couldn't put it down .. found that with a couple of other of his books too

Sorry to butt in, but just to flag that this is going to be our September book of the month. So any comments/questions you'd like to put to David Mitchell, please keep an eye out for the thread that will start in the Book of the month topic at beginning of Sept. Thanks.

thanks all - have stuck with it and it is beginning to warm up - will definitley look out for sept book of month topic with interest

Absolutely loved it - mostly! Not convinced about the ending.

Really interesting that it is book of the month.
