The Book of Guilt | CATHERINE. CHIDGEY

pick

Well that was weird but brilliant 🤩 to describe without any spoilers (I did guess quite early on but not confirmed until towards the end ) this novel is a mix of dystopian, sci fi , horror with a little real historical events thrown in. Right from the start you have a sense of forbidding a lingering unease at what‘s to unfold. I

Bookbuyingaddict found the authors note on sources at the end of the book brilliant 🤩 how an idea can be formed. Let‘s just say Margate is mentioned as is the life sentences of Brady and hindley oh and of course the book of knowledge. 1mo

charl08 Such a cute pooch shot! 😍💤 1mo

squirrelbrain I loved this one too! 1mo

The Book of Guilt | CATHERINE. CHIDGEY

so-so

This is going to be a So-So , light pick. I did feel the book was a compelling read , the writing was good , and there were some frightening scenes. But now that I‘m finished, I feel that I didn‘t really like it. Im left wanting something more from this compelling read. It feels too strange, I feel no connection to the characters , maybe that‘s the point. I did love Pet, but this is a very different book.

Suet624 That‘s too bad. I had high hopes for it. 2mo

sarahbarnes Agree with @Suet624 - I have this on hold at the library. 2mo

Cathythoughts @Suet624 @sarahbarnes I‘d say I‘ll be the unpopular opinion. 2mo

Cathythoughts @Suet624 @sarahbarnes It is a compelling read. Ye may well love it 👍🏻❤️ 2mo

Tamra I have been wondering about this one because it doesn‘t sound like my kinda thing. It might be a cilantro book! 🌿🌿 (Though I love cilantro😋) 2mo

squirrelbrain Oh dear, I‘m sorry you didn‘t love it! Maybe it‘s me who will have the unpopular opinion and everyone else will wonder what on earth I was raving about?! 😬 2mo

sarahbarnes @Tamra a cilantro book! I love that. 😂 I also love cilantro. 😁 2mo

Cathythoughts @Tamra I didn‘t like cilantro ( had to google I know it as coriander ) when I tried it first many years ago. But I love it now. 🌿 2mo

Cathythoughts @squirrelbrain Helen , I did enjoy reading it, I wouldn‘t have bailed. Is it tipped for the Longlist ? ! We won‘t have long to wait and see. 👍🏻😁 2mo

AnneCecilie Interesting, I have seen some love for this one, guess I‘ll lower my expectations a little bit 2mo

Cathythoughts @AnneCecilie Oh no don‘t lower expectations, this is only my opinion. I look forward to your thoughts x 2mo

BarbaraBB Oh that‘s interesting, after Helen loving it! I am curious to see where I‘ll end up but I have another one by her that I should read first

The Axeman's Carnival

2mo

Cathythoughts @BarbaraBB Thankyou, stacking The Axeman 👍🏻 she‘s a good writer. 2mo

squirrelbrain It has been mentioned for the Longlist, so we shall see! 2mo

CarolynM I‘ve just read and loved The Axeman‘s Carnival and decided I need to read everything by Catherine Chidgey but now you‘ve got me worried 😆 I‘ve got Pet, so I will give that one a go before this one. 2mo

Cathythoughts @CarolynM I‘ve just downloaded Axeman‘s Carnival , Thankyou for that, I didn‘t realize she‘d written other books. I really think I‘ll be the unpopular opinion on Book of Guilt. 2mo

The Book of Guilt | CATHERINE. CHIDGEY

pick

All the stars! 🤩

Vincent, William and Laurence are triplets growing up in the UK in 1979 in a (slightly) alternate history.

They are the only children left in a home, where the other kids have all gone away to the promised land of Margate. They are cared for by Mother Morning, Mother Afternoon and Mother Night. Their dreams are recorded in the Book of Dreams, their misdeeds in the Book of Guilt.

I shall say no more, other than read it!

LeahBergen Great review! 3mo

BarbaraBB I will!! 3mo

sarahbarnes Another Catherine Chidgey? I‘m in! 3mo

Lesliereadsalot This sounds great! Already had it on order from my library so I‘m #1 when it arrives. 3mo

squirrelbrain @LeahBergen @BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes @Lesliereadsalot - I‘ve been trying to compare it to Pet and it‘s certainly as good, and possibly slightly better! 3mo

sarahbarnes OMG! Now I really want to read it. 3mo

sarahbarnes @Lesliereadsalot same! 😁 3mo

Cathythoughts Just starting it Helen. I loved Pet. Slightly better you say ! That‘s something x 3mo

squirrelbrain Hope you like it as much as I did! @Cathythoughts 3mo
