Journal Entry 1 by LadyIndigo01 from Fordingbridge, Hampshire United Kingdom on Thursday, June 29, 2006
Interesting book intertwining 2 stories; that of a murder of 2 Norwegian immigrants on a small island off the coast of New Hampshire and that of a photographer researching the murder more than a century later.
There are common themes in the 2 stories and although I preferred the story of Maren (a Norweigian immigrant) I liked the way the two stories were intertwined.
I especially thought the ending was good.
I am sending this to my NSSSBTSSS partner as she likes to read Orange prize winners/shortlisters and this was on the 1998 shortlist for the Orange prize.

I received this book with one other from clairemagnolia today. Many thanks to her for sharing it. I am looking forward to the read, but I have one more book ahead of it in the queue. I will journal and pass it on as soon as possible.
I found this book unusual and quite touching. An enjoyable read that kept me wondering - something was going to happen, but what?? I wasn't prepared for what it was.
Sorry to have kept it so long, but I am now contacting Scotsbookie to send it on to her.

Arrived safely this morning, I will get to it as soon as I can.
A touching read, with a very surprising outcome to both stories.
I have Winterson's details & will pass it on soon. I have just sent her another bookring so will save this for a week or so as I know she has her hands fullat the moment.
