Weird and not so wonderful collection of short stories. The reader is likely to be unsettled. The first few are good and then I got bored and gave up. Our group were equally uninspired. Average 4

Masterly writing and an interesting story, not one you can just trot through. It stretches your imagination and has thought provoking events and characters. Gretel, is looking for her mother around the canals of Oxfordshire. When she was a teenager, they lived alone on a houseboat, but mother Sarah abandoned her, she ended up in foster care. Sixteen years later, Gretel receives a short phone call from her mother and vows to find her. Listed for the Booker, not bad for a debut novel

We’ve formed another book group called BookPub and this is our first book. It’s not a complicated book nor very well written, but it has something. 2 sisters, one glamourous and the other plain and sensible. They both fall for a dashing African doctor. Sort listed for the Booker price (why?).
