Girl with Green Eyes
10 journalers for this copy...
I've had this book for ages and ages, and finally picked it up last night as I wanted a quick read, and the fact it's one of the 1001 books to read before you die was another plus. I enjoyed it more than I was expecting, and the end was definitely not what I had been expecting. Parts of it were really funny too!Will be a bookray:

Arrived safe and sound today and I was amused to see its original price - 3/6 (three old shillings and six old pence)! It's an antique but just as readable as a modern book of course. I have read Country Girls and this is the next in line so I can take it off my wishlist now.
Thank you lucy for including me and making me the first in the ring. It shouldn't be too long before I get to it - just have to finish half of my current book before I begin.

Finished this book this morning and it was just as entertaining as Country Girls. A naive account of a young Catholic Irish girl's love for an older, married man and her relationship with her domineering father and her best friend Baba. Easy to read and very enjoyable.
I will PM the next in line and get it moving on its way ASAP.

I was a little unsure about this book as I found Caithleen a little distasteful although I'm not sure why. The ending proved to me just how childish and naive she really was.
The story as a whole though, I enjoyed and I am pleased to have read it. Thanks for sharing Lucy xx

Received safely - thank you Danielle! I promise to get to this as soon as I possibly can Lucy :)
I have to say that I didn't overly enjoy this one. Caithleen annoyed me - I didn't like her naive and needy character. In fact, I didn't warm to any of the characters at all. A bit of a disappointment for me overall, as I felt ultimately that the storyline lacked any real substance.
Thanks Lucy for including me - that's another 1001 off my list:)
Sending on now to the next in line.

Arrived yesterday. I haven't read any of Edna O'Brien before, so I'm looking forwards to this one.
Easy to read & a good story - but I didn't warm to any of the characters! I wanted Caithleen to find her independence, so her comments at the end were disappointing.
