Hi Everyone,
The Uninvited Guests
I'm catching up on my posts from the last two weeks, when I have been travelling the country, visiting family.
Enjoy!
The Uninvited Guests
By Sadie Jones
Review: Be forewarned, this clever book, chronicling what happens when you take the "nice" out of social niceties during a birthday dinner party at an English manor house, may disturb you. Near the end, this book devolves into unexpected strangeness.
The highly honest, dead-on observations spared no politeness, but were funny and interesting. The best part was hearing one character's thoughts about another character. Emerald develops feelings for a childhood friend, and the youngest child, Smudge, is left to her own devices, while a mysterious man from the mother's past appears along with the "uninvited guests," refugees from a nearby train accident.
