Emotionally Weird
3 journalers for this copy...
From back cover:"On a weather-beaten island off the coast of Scotland, Effie and her mother, Nora, take refuge in the large, mouldering house of their ancestors and tell each other stories. Nora, at first, recounts nothing that Effie really wants to hear--like who her real father was. Effie tells various versions of her life at college, where in fact she lives in a lethargic relationship with Bob, a student who never goes to lectures, seldom gets out of bed, and to whom Klingons are as real as Spaniards and Germans.
But as mother and daughter spin their tales, strange things are happening around them. Is Effie being followed? Is someone killing the old people? And where is the mysterious yellow dog?"

Journal Entry 3 by bradgirl from Saltaire, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Thursday, February 12, 2009
Received from Martjxox, will start reading straight away. I love the cover - different to the picture above!
Finished this book on the train to London on Tuesday. Was not really impressed with it at all. I couldn't get into it and found it a chore to read. The characters were too hard to care about and I found Kate Atkinson's writing style in this book to be very weird (to use a word from her book title!). Certainly not one of her better books. Will PM the next person on the bookring list and send it on asap.
