This is now a bookcrossing book ☺ I am currently listening to an audiobook of this book to and from work and when I saw the paper copy in OXFAM charity shop, Haymarket, Newcastle Upon Tyne I could not resist buying it to pass on through the shrinking VBB

I finisished the audiobook today. Interesting take on life and remarkable things.


Posting out to JennyC1230 this week by snail mail☺

I just found this last night when I came back to my old house to clear it out. I had been moving when this got delivered to my old address. So I apologize for this long wait! It has been waiting patiently for me since a friend picked up the mail and left it on the counter.

The story is about one day in the lives of a neighborhood in England. We are at first introduced to that day through what happens in the lives of each of the neighbors. Then the time slips back and back and then forward again, filling in the blanks, letting us know why each person is doing what she is doing.

There is a young woman at the center of the story, and I did come to care a bit more about what happens to her as a result of the incident that affects everyone in the area. However, we don't get to know most of the characters by name. It's as if this could be any neighborhood, any time.

A bit of an adventure in writing and reading, and a way to appreciate what is both remarkable and what is not.

On a table inside.

It wasn't a horrible read but I felt like the author carried on way too much before he got to the point on any topic. Only read if you have patience to spare. I hope the next reader gets more from this book than I did.
