Re: January Book Club Discussion thread
Overall, I was very hooked by the book, but honestly would never have chosen to read it if I'd known it featured the deaths of several babies, I'm so so sensitive about this right now

That said, I particularly enjoyed the female characters - Bee, Tess, Kasia and also the mother were very well drawn I think. I agree the males were rather more one-dimensional and yes I thought William was the baddy. I also thought Kasia would come to save her, and still am determined she is saved as like Vienna I don't 'do' sad endings
no matter how far you have travelled down the wrong road, you can always turn around.

I think it is definitely meant to be a happy ending... I draw your attention to the garden, the planting of the bulbs, how Bee thought the garden was doomed but eventually saw green shoots of new life coming through.
I rest my case. Thank you.

Re: January Book Club Discussion thread
Omg I totally forgot that I wanted to give my feedback. I will come back to this thread. I didn't LOVE the book. It kept me hooked, for sure but
can't put my finger on why I didn't love it. I'll formulate an opinion and then return

Re: January Book Club Discussion thread
Hello
I also didn't originally sign up for the Book Club officially but I've just finished reading it and have to say it hooked me completely - didn't take me long to read at all! (Which is good as I think it's spurred me to get my reading mojo back!)
I think Kasia saved her at the end. I was totally shocked that it was Williams too! I had always suspected the art friend who was stalking her but I suppose that would have been too obvious.
I also loved the writing style and was shocked that there was no Mr Wright!
