The Believers by Zoe Heller

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

Any one else read this recently? One of the best books so far for me, especially funny about family dynamics and a wonderfully acerbic, hard to like, mother.

yes
i lovbed
film will be great - judi dench i think
we started a thread on here iirc

I read a little while ago so don't expect anything too insightful but yes, I loved it too! Was unputdownable in parts.

I thought Rosa's struggle between her feminist and political ideals and her increasing religious conviction (Judaism)was brilliantly portrayed. Zoe Heller is a brilliant novelist- far better than she is a journalist in my opinion.

Have just read this because of above comments and loved it, so thank you all! As ArticFox said Rosa's struggle was brilliantly portrayed.
Anyone looking for their next read ........
