Hi all
I have to admit I have not yet started this one. Will give it top priority
though and will be talking about it soon.
I have not checked, but I seem to recall that we are reading Ben elton's
book "Two Brothers" this month. I read the book before Christmas and we
should be able to have an interesting chat about this one.

I am really interested to know what everyone thought of Mr. Wroe's
Virgins. You always pick such interesting books for us to read Clare.
I admit that when I read the description of the book I didn't really fancy
it and when I started to read it I thought I wasn't going to like it. But I
carried on because I know that I always have a negative feeling towards
books with religious themes. I quite quickly got into all the different
characters and found the whole story fascinating, especially when I found
out later that it was all based on fact. I was surprised how late the book
was set. I must have missed at the beginning and thought it was more in the
16 or 17 hundreds until I saw a few more clues. So interesting to read how
oppressed the women were at that time. I hated the hunchback, he was so
manipulating and I wished he had been punished more for what he did.
Anyway, thanks for picking such a good book Clare, I thoroughly enjoyed
reading it.
Shell.
