I liked The Return of the Soldier and have this one on my pile--I've heard good things about it. It seems like the sort of book you need to be in the right mood for.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942500966976732451.post-40691232437722279312010-06-29T09:40:04.433+01:002010-06-29T09:40:04.433+01:00Hoorah!

Sunflowers does have a pretty cover, but I don't own it...<br /><br />Hayley - yes, our hindsight makes it very interesting indeed.<br /><br />Hannah - yes, I agree!verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942500966976732451.post-61120702227080256452010-06-28T19:17:46.735+01:002010-06-28T19:17:46.735+01:00100 pages of political dialogue, good grief!100 pages of political dialogue, good grief!Hannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942500966976732451.post-68766571189632440412010-06-28T18:38:15.204+01:002010-06-28T18:38:15.204+01:00I read this a few years ago and loved it, both for...I read this a few years ago and loved it, both for the possibly true bits and the way the family relationships are revealed, especially the way the family relationships are revealled, and the question mark at the end over the future because we know what history has in store!Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942500966976732451.post-6104718751143552692010-06-28T18:37:53.765+01:002010-06-28T18:37:53.765+01:00I really struggled with The Fountain Overflows and...I really struggled with The Fountain Overflows and gave up so I've avoided further West. I even passed up an original green The Return of the Soldier the other day in bookshop (I have the reformatted green version).<br /><br />Does she also have a VMC, Sunflowers? I love the cover of that :)Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.com
