    My Phantoms: Discussion

    I’m a bit late kicking this off - apologies. I very much enjoyed reading this novel (though it reads more like a memoir) but I’m not quite sure why I enjoyed it. I think she’s a very good writer, though the story was rather bleak. I didn’t like any of the characters but felt I recognised the personality types. I wanted more of the back story; why was the daughter quite so harsh towards her mother? I felt the Dad was the most fully sketched out character and I could squirm at his behaviour. It was a sparse novel that left me wanting more.

    What did others make of it? Where did your sympathies lie?

Book club

This group is for people who like to read a book and discuss it with others. We will choose a book each month from titles suggested by members of the group. We will then return for an on-line discussion at a pre selected date which will be 6 weeks later. Important that we suggest books which are readily available, not too expensive, and not too long.

** Please note that this is a book discussion group. Business posts will not be accepted and members posting these will be removed from the group. SO PLEASE NO ADVERTISING.
