and found it very haunting. At times I couldn’t put it down, at others I got bored with some of what I considered to be fairly peripheral storylines but there were two very dramatic twists towards the end neither of which were remotely predictable.
Still pondering on many of the trains of thought it raised and not at all sure that I will blog about them as they are quite personal and to do with siblings, having more than one child, having poorly children and very strange personal decisions – some hypothetical, some real which I am not sure I want to share in this particular place and some which I think will not be appropriate in various ways. Might do a password protected post for it so I get it written down for my own benefit which people are then free to ask for if they are so inclined and feel unlikely to be upset or take offence at the subject matter.
Made me think a lot though….
Nic, have you forgotten- your whole blog is password protected!
Books are good when they leave a footprint aren’t they?

oh gosh, I’m not sure it made me think that much! I thought the twist at the end was completely predictable though!

I know it’s all passworded but some of the readers still might not want to read my ramblings about having more than one child or dilemas about ill children.
And that personality test said I was only a mere 23% empathetic 😉
Also I wouldn’t want to spoil the end for anyone in the middle of or thinking about reading it!

rofl- sounds quite wise to password it then!
*What* book?

Heather – My Sister’s Keeper by, erm, can’t remember. Jodie Picoult? Or was that another one …?
