![]() ![]() She’s in her fifth year at University, admittedly pfaffing about when she meets Harlow (a slightly unhinged and eccentric fellow student). We’re in Rosemary’s head so experiencing everything from her viewpoint. It’s a novel which is really hard to describe (without giving too much away) as KJF slowly but surely invites us into the life of our protagonist Rosemary Cooke. In fact, the book was shortlisted for this year’s Man Booker Prize.Īs it was my first KJF* I wasn’t sure what to expect. And I most definitely didn’t think I’d be reading the book in a sitting… which (#spoileralert) I did. I had however, heard very good things about her latest novel, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, released (elsewhere) last year and in Australia in March this year (2014). (Of course I’m conscious that the book was revered enough to inspire the movie, so… who knows?!) I haven’t actually read the book on which it’s based but a few people advised the movie’s better (a rarity), so I’ve given the novel by Karen Joy Fowler a miss. ![]() I’ve mentioned before that one of my favourite comfort movies is The Jane Austen Bookclub. ![]()
