I read Enter Ghost earlier this year and absolutely loved it. You’ve reviewed it well. I still remember aspects of the book, particularly the sister relationship. I have The Safekeep so I’ll start it next.

Thanks Tanya for really interesting selection of books and your reviews. I have read The Shipping News (years ago), All Fours, and The Safekeep. I concur with your views on the three of them. All Fours is a thought provoking and riotous book but at times I felt it went off the rails plot wise. Is it trying to hard to be provocative? For me The Safekeep is one of the best books I have read in years and so deserved the Women's Prize for Fiction. It is multi-layered and I am still thinking about the sophisticated plotline.

Tanya i so enjoy reading your thoughts about the books you have read, the way you describe them never fails to make me want to stop what I’m doing and start reading something! I’m currently reading all fours and I have been really looking forward to your thoughts because it feels like a book that needs to be discussed with someone else who has read it! It’s unlike anything else I’ve ever read and I’m not sure if I will finish it and think I loved it or hated it!
