Good , although as usual, not as good as the reviews suggest. Difficult to like the narrator at first.
Mothers and daughters ...!

Mothers and daughters ...!
this divided us, one found it got better and better , a couple thought it OK but too scatter-gun in tis targets and one disliked it .
How often do we disagree with the book reviews ---Often !
A divided jury- Two liked it - one a lot , the rest were indifferent to the narrator. Some interesting points about history and memory and about his relation with father . From page 174 I liked it but it is only 192 pages long!
A remarkable, moving and memorable opening ....then a rather predictable cliche of a tale of growing up.
As though she had two ideas at writing class and stitched the together.
One of us liked it , most did not. Interesting attempt to portray two people whose art gets in the say of love (or can they not love so sublimate it to Art) . A conversational style as though ghe character is talking to us
It started well and then petered . We felt the characters could have been more developed. But overall worth reading.
Perhaps rather of its time, generally liked even the chapter written as Power Point.DId we care about the characters???
