panThis is one of those books where you get to the end and wonder what the point was, although I do now know how to measure a cow but how this even related to the story line I have no idea. Meet Sarah, who was Tara, your spend 300 pages together and leave her with a ton of questions still having no idea who she really is or what she did. A bizarre book that makes you want to wear a grey jumper. Not the best start to 2019 Reading!
pickI adore Margaret Forster. I've read most of her books. This one took me a day and a half whilst travelling! I found myself liking the female lead, then less so. which I think was the intention. I was quite surprised that it was based in current times, or thereabouts as the older female seemed more of the seventies in her understanding of modern life.
so-soSlow moving book build on the characters, but interesting story about Sara/Tara trying to make a new start in life. The best part for me was depiction of a elderly women Nancy. I would love to drink tea with her and give her a hug. It's well written book, but with strange end.
My next choice...only because of the title.
