" After his mother's death, Richard, a newly remarried hospital consultant, decides to build bridges with his estranged sister, inviting Angela and her family for a week in a rented house on the Welsh border. Four adults and four children, a single family and all of them strangers. Seven days of shared meals, log fires, card games and wet walks.
But in the quiet and stillness of the valley, ghosts begin to rise up. The parents Richard thought he had. The parents Angela thought she had. Past and present lovers. Friends, enemies, victims, saviours. And watching over all of them from high on the dark hill, Karen, Angela's stillborn daughter."

I absolutely loved Mark Haddon's previous books so I was really looking forward to this one. I was a bit disappointed though; it's well written, but didn't seem to go anywhere and I was left wondering what the point had been at the end.

Picked up by Tanamo over lunch.

Picked up at today's mini meet in Leicester.

I didn't even do as well as the previous reader as I didn't even get to the end. I tried to read this book a couple of times but just couldn't get into it.

Reserved for Icila

Mailed to another bookcrosser via the European Wishlist Tag game.

Got it ! Thank you Tanamo.

As I had to mail it to another bookcrosser as a wishlist book I read it this rainy and cold week-end in Brittany, perfect weather for that matter.
And I enjoyed it. I liked the way the author places us in the mind of each character successively.
We all know that every family is a disturbed one but it's always interesting to observe how.

On its way to Chremajora. Enjoy !

Received! Many thanks, Icila. Looking forward to reading this!
