[Miaou]

Here's what I have read recently:

The Bonesetter's Daughter
The Poisonwood Bible
The Sweetest Dream - Doris Lessing
The Fifth Child - Doris Lessing
Eden Close - Anita Shreve
Lots of Ruth Rendells
The Dark-Adapted Eye - Barbara Vine (Ruth Rendell)
Roccoco - Trigiani
Instances of the Number Three - Salley Vickers

Any suggestions of what to read next? Am just finishing The Fifth Child (mumsnet recommendation!)

jodi picoult

Also have your read any other Anita Shreves they are excellent

Have read one or two AS piffle but Eden Close was the only one I really enjoyed. Didn't like The Last Time They Met.

What do you recommend by Jodi Picoult? (not heard of her)

Wild Swans by Jung Chang (if you've not already read her)
Ripley series by Patricia Highsmith
Grasshopper and No Night is too Long by Barbara Vine

Jenny Diski skating to antarctica

the healer by greg hollingshead

oh yes, Skating to Antartica is very good, as is her travelling on a train across the USA one (racking my brain now!)

Have you tried Rose Tremain, Margaret Atwood, Carol Shields?

Jodi Picoult is fab, my favourite of hers so far as been Plain Truth.

Any Jodi Picoult although My Sisters Keeper is superb. Also Mercy is excellent oh dang they're all bloody good.

I've read the blind assassin, that was good - might try another atwood.

rose tremain - what did she write?

Kate Atkinson
Behind the scenes at the museum

Superb

oooh yes, read that a few years ago, brilliant

what about chocolat? etc - any good?

Only read Five Quarters of the Orange (good read, but freaked me out a bit at times), and Coastliners, which I found very dull.

Oranges are not the only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson is very good.

oooh quite like being freaked out

read OANTOF a few years ago, enjoyed it

In the last few months I have loved Case Histories by Kate Atkinson and I know this much is true by Wally Lamb.

Oh,Wally Lamb's is a BIG love of mine MrsS!!

I cried when it was finished Moondog, just wanted it to go on and on. His others are good then?

Wally Lamb, did he write She's Come Undone? If so, it's fab

Joanna Harris and Alice Hoffman are 2 of my (many many) faves
or for fluffy don't have to think much books i love rosamunde pilcher
Have you read anymore Amy Tan? Thousand Secret Senses is my favourite of hers.

Asta's Story by Barbera Vine....one of her best
