I have only read short stories by Ernest Hemmingway, and they didn't grab me. Maybe if I tried one of his novels I'd get on better. The Rachel Joyce book is on our local bookgroup list, one of our members is in raptures about it. I just can't take John Grisham at any price. His subject matter just leaves me cold. What I've read of "This Bleeding City" reminded me of Grisham which is one reason I couldn't work up any enthusiasm for it.

Hi June, I have never read anything by Ernest Hemingway, but always thought he sounded like an interesting person and have seen several books about him that I would like to read. I agree with your friend to a certain extent about John Grisham, though I do like to read one every few years. I think I just read two too close together this time. I read Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry after seeing it on the Richard and Judy list, but I have to admit that I didn't like it at all. I often find their books very hit and miss. Did you see that Judy Finnigan has a novel out too at the moment? I'm not sure whether to give it a try or not as my friends who tried it didn't like it. I may give it a go if I see it for free somewhere. I haven't seen their most recent list of books yet.
