Maybe it's better reading it than listening to it, Plant. Also it's easier to go back and remind yourself which "version" you are reading, which I did frequently.

That is true Enfys, that is the drawback with Audible, it is not easy to find bits you want to re-read. Perhaps I will put it on my Kindle.What is life if full of care we have no time to stand and stareComment

Enfys, if you want to write your comments so you don't forget please do. I will start a thread. Anyone who hasn't finished the book can avoid it until they have

Libra, I have that on order in audio book form for my mum from the library.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

Is it time for another book?
I suggest the next one on the list
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Making-Up-A...y+Marian+Keyes
Purely because Daisy suggestion ( "The Many Lives of Zillah Smith: An English Romany", by Netta Cartwright) seems harder to find and it will give us more time to source copies

Gem - yes, I quite agree. Marian Keyes is always a good read. I'm feeling a bit guilty because I haven't made any comments on the previous book yet, although I have finished it. I've had trouble with my Kindle and didn't have the patience to sort it out, but it's working again now, so I'm going to skim through Versions of us again, and try and sort out the 3 stories in my head.
I thought the Zillah Smith book would be interesting, but didn't realise it would also be difficult to get hold of.

Well Daisy, I'm hoping it will be available at libraries, I haven't searched at mine yet!
It's not available on Kindle and it is £10 in book form which I thought may be a bit much for people to pay for a book club read.
Therefore I thought if we leave it until later we can search our libraries and 2nd hand book shops

Gem - I totally agree - £10 is far too much, and we can always choose something else instead.
