Oh, I loved this book when we did it in my book club about 15 years ago - I read Robinson Crusoe along with it. I hope I can join in with you, it's just a matter of finding the time at the moment.

Cornflower

So glad to hear that you loved it, Elizabeth, and I do hope you'll manage to find the time for a re-read.

Claire

This sounds good, I'm in and have ordered from you-know-who. Look forward to it.

Cornflower

Good! Thank you, Claire.

Alison

Great to have the book Group back. I'm in ...just ordered my copy:-)
Alison.

Cornflower

Excellent, Alison, thank you.

Chris

Looking forward to reading this, I've just ordered my copy too.

Having tracked down my 1980's paperback copy of Crusoe's Daughter I look forward to joining in with the Book Group discussion.
I know that I read a lot of Jane Gardam's work in the early 80's but I can't remember if I read this or whether it fell victim to the maternal brain condition caused by having two chidren under 3, the younger of whom had an aversion to sleeping at night!

Cornflower

Lovely to see enthusiasm for it. Thanks, Chris.

Cornflower

I remember maternal brain condition ... how few books I read at that stage!

Danielle

A perfect excuse to pull this from the TBR pile--I have a lovely new Europa Editions copy of this that has been anxiously awaiting my attention! Wow--60 books--that's impressive. I've only read a handful of them, I suspect, but I very much enjoy reading along when I can. Great choice of books!

Rebecca

I think we've run Book Dep. out of copies! Hope it comes back in in time for me to read it for September.
