The Tenderness of Wolves - Stef Penney

The First Tuesday Book Club met on Tuesday 2nd February to discuss The Tenderness Of Wolves by Stef Penney.

The evening was extremely hot and sorry but we don't have air con. Thanks to Coll and Trilby for bringing ice creams which remained in my freezer forgotten as we hotly discussed this months novel and of course caught up on some issues from the previous meeting.

Obviously I chose a good book as everyone only had praise for the story (though some of us were worried about the people still wandering through the snow). The characters in the book were realistic and most of us felt the author described the landscape etc. so well that we felt we were there.

SCORES:
Cara - 9 Related to the characters easily.
Trilby - 7.2 Really liked the independant female character.
Meg - 6.5 Interesting and strong character but the story line a little slow.
Tahnee - 7.5 Wanted the story to go on and on and on.
Elizabeth - 8 Wanted to read more .. wanted more story.
Debbie - 7.5 I loved it.
Colleen - 6.5 Could seperate the author from the story line.
Leslie - 8 Really enjoyed reading the book, felt the characters come to life & loved Mrs Ross
Elise - 8 Very enjoyable story.

Thanks to Debbie for the next book chosen: Welcome Silence by Carol North
The following book chosen by Cara is: Theory of Flesh by John Binias
