Thank you for the suggestion. You seem to have read many of her books: what do you think of her style?

Can I suggest 'The History of Love' by Nicole Krauss? I loved that!

I haven't touched Tara Road yet. I am reading quentins at the mo. I must admit I didn't know who this writer was and find it's very good! Anything similar to suggest me or shall I get to Tara Road when I finish this one?;-) Cheers

That's the book I just read and really liked it. I am reading Quentin now. I like her short sentences. An the characters so different yet so much the same

Hi, I have just read the latest book from Maeve Binchy and found it quite impressive. I really like her style so would like to find out what other people think. Thanks, London

Hi, Just finished reading this amazing book. Has anyone read the previous one from the same author, A man walks into a room? Cheers, Anna

Hi, Yes it did and that was the reason why me and three other friends decided to have a 'book club' meeting about the book. All of us read it and when we meet we all thought it was very disappointing. Guess you can say all of us have different feelings about the same thing, but that's how I...

If you check one of the post I have been suggested to check you will find out I have tried but nothing happened as if the post was dead ...

I liked the book though didn't really satisfy my expectations (read beginning very different from end) I agree JD should have given her point of view in the end but, in a way, I guess she kind of suggested that - see way outsiders see the family - Anna's lawyer etc - and in the way Anna's...

Hi, I am reading the book and I like it. I still have 150 pages to read but I think it is well written and interesting though I understand why it may sound boring. However...why doi you think it can be racist? Up to what I read I think it is not racist. It is, simply...honest. Chanu is...

I think a good plot can make a huge difference but, as somebody else already mentioned, good writing is fundamental. Ideally, you should find a balance. FIrst example I can think of is 100 Years of Solitude, GG Marquez. Am not much into Dan Brown, I read the book and found it quite...

Thank you all for your replies! To tell you the truth I had problems with google as too many things come up and I kinda get lost! I was mainly focusin on novels that take place or touch cities as the above mentioned ones. TA!!

Dear all, I am looking for books (novels in particular) that take place in the following cities: London (UK) Munich (Germany) Paris (France) New York (USA) Tibet For example The Da Vinci Code in Paris. I am not fussy about authors (man, woman, any race and colour) or centuries...
