It is being organised by Simon (http://stuck-in-a-book.blogspot.com) who is encouraging other bloggers to read the novels of Muriel Spark and post reviews during the nominated week. Perhaps you could post a link to your review or join in the discussion.Karyn Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813830021253923326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071219441574727960.post-37336063154117743972012-03-15T23:53:24.298-07:002012-03-15T23:53:24.298-07:00Thanks Colleen!

Since I wrote this two book club sessions have met. Two thirds of the members loved the book and got the subtexts, but the other third were put off by the formal style and repetition of the notion that Brodie is in her prime. Even though the book is clever and well written it's not a guarantee of enjoyment - like anything I guess.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05063686203602541260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071219441574727960.post-59338342365705140212012-03-15T19:49:52.559-07:002012-03-15T19:49:52.559-07:00Wow I really want to read this!
