Hi Ginnie and Mags
That sounds wonderful to have met Joanne Trollope,I absolutely love her books,so moving and realistic,
My favourite was"Other peoples Children"
have you read that one?
We are having our Writer`s festival here at the moment.
have just come in from listening to Melvyn Bragg speak,a truly fascinating and disarmingly honest man.Spoke about his French wife(as told in "Remember Me")
Tomorrow night I go to see Zoe Heller and Colm Toibin and Sunday ,Sarah Waters.
Have any members of the Forum read their works and what do you think of them?Would love to know.
:I know I prefer to read books that have some connection with me,rather than books which are completely outside my experiences. (to answer your question ,Scottish Mags.
Thats why I love Anne Tyler so much and Carol Shields too.
What do you think of these writers?
