In a London suburb one day my brother, Duffy, and I
were out shopping with my kids.
We stopped in at our local bookstore, something we
frequently did when he visited.
We were both standing near a small display of books,
perusing the variety. We both reached for a copy of
the same book.
We both quickly read the blurb:
'A totally brilliant book about the heartbreaking gap between the way we were and the way we are...the best weird love story since THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE. Every reader will fall in love with it. And every writer
will wish they had written it.'
will wish they had written it.'
Tony Parsons
'best weird love story since The Time Traveler's Wife'...
Duffy and I looked at each other and both instantly knew we had to read the book.
We quickly purchased two copies as he was due to travel back to the states sooner than either of us could manage to finish reading it.

Remeber when we did the round robin with your copy of the book? You did eventually get it back right? Good memories even though I never did finish the book. It was bad timing for me. Belle
ReplyDeleteYes, it made the rounds! I still had my original copy too. I wonder if my sister has read it yet. I think the extra copy found its resting place at my best friend's house, as intended.
