Its on my shelf awaiting my attention.

worth reading for sure. I really liked the older brother character and his dysfunctional marriage, his feeling on the outside, thought that was really well done. I suspect it is a way a lot of men feel although I am not a man.

Ooh, it's one of my favourite books! I'm going to re-read it soon, because it's been a couple of years since I read it, and I can't remember much about it - only that I loved it.

I loved it too. Was one of those books which I finished and then couldn't settle to another book for ages afterwards.

Loved it here too. Loved the older couple and also all the stuff about the family dynamics throughout. I found it very true.

This must be a MN Book Club first - we're all in agreement!
