The Little Red Chairs | Edna O'Brien

Pickpick

Brutal. That is all I can say. I have no idea how to rate on the 5 star scale. I thought it might be clever to ask Siri to find me an image of the red chairs and she came up with this. I am glad she didn't find what I hoped/feared she would find. #tob2017longlist

BkClubCare I did have problems which could have been me and/or the audio - I felt like I missed things and it bothered me but not enough to always replay. The narrator was excellent but it won't be my favorite of hers (Juliet Stevenson) Too many characters, perhaps and not understanding their role in the story. Again, I think I just missed a few key things. (edited) 7y

Suet624 This was my least favorite book of hers. 7y

BkClubCare @Suet624 - I would love your recommendation for what would be best for me to read next! (edited) 7y
Suet624 Well I've just discovered something and I'm slightly embarrassed. I read Edna O'Brien's book and I was surprised by how little I liked it. After reviewing some of my notes, I just realized I was confusing her with Anne Enright. I've apparently only read one Edna O'Brien book. But I really loved The Gathering. Thanks for clarifying this for me. 7y
Gulfsidemusing @BkClubCare Greyhounds!💕 7y
Gulfsidemusing @BkClubCare @Suet624 Glad I'm not the only one to confuse them! Let me know when you decide to read The Gathering, maybe I can join you. Still curious about this book though... will read rather then listen when I get to it. 7y
