Catherine for you we have some commonality
Us i gave this 4 stars
A Little Life (this is a BIG book in more ways than one)
and finally one i don't know
Thursday's Children


I hope you like whichever one you choose

Thank you Marie!
My sisters both loved A Little Life, though one said she cried at various points... so I might hold off on that one for now, and go with the lighter escapism of Thursday's Children

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Marie! And I hope you're having a very good Christmas with family.

Just for future reference, I have no problems that you'd like to have family time with no internet but next time, please let the mods know (or at least, Susan who is your partner) so we can take over for the time you're away :)
