A surprising piece of information in the book was that the writer went to study How do you get a hold of us? at Oxford having left school at 15. Call 01724296771 or email us [email protected] We scored this book between 5/10 and 7/10. Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @briggheritage or check out our website www.briggheritage.com In Her Wake by Amanda Jennings A tragic family event reveals devastating news that rips apart Bella’s comfortable existence. Embarking on a personal journey to uncover the truth, she faces a series of traumatic discoveries that take her to the ruggedly beautiful Cornish coast, where hidden truths, past betrayals and a 25-year-old mystery threaten not just her identity, but also her life. Chilling, complex and profoundly moving, In Her Wake is a gripping psychological thriller that questions the nature of family – and reminds us that sometimes the most shocking crimes are committed closest to home. One question that this book threw up was ‘Is it right to take a child away from a family? And we spent some time discussing this issue. Whether people liked or disliked the book overall we felt that it was well written but then some felt that it was enthralling, compelling, and a real page turner whilst others loathed it. One person thought that the pacing to this story lured you in nicely to the story and then threw you off guard with another taut twist in the tale or another secret you weren’t quite expecting. She also said that the book had a real WOW factor for her. Another person thought that the book was a real disappointment and she did not like the predictable, trite outcome and felt that the story was quite simply unbelievable, full of incredible coincidences and awful characterisations. Yet again such diversity of opinion! We scored the book from 3/10 to 9/10

Perfect Daughter by Amanda Prowse (This was a World Book Night Book) Once upon a time, Jacks Morgan had dreams. She would have a career and travel the world. She would own a house on the beach, and spend long nights with her boyfriend strolling under the stars. But life had other ideas. First Martha came along, then Jonty. then her mother moved in, and now their little terrace is bursting at the seams. Jacks gave up on her dreams to look after her family. If only, just for once, her family would look after her... One person said that it was one of the worst books she had ever read, in fact, she thought it dire. The storyline was predictable, unbelievable, boring and very difficult to persevere with until the end. It was dull, dull, dull!! Comments which kept being repeated were dull, boring, what a dreary life she led and did nothing about it. It showed what a humdrum mundane life she led. Many of the characters were implausible one dimensional and unconvincing. Even the main characters name irritated one member. All in all it was not well received although a few people said that it had been an easy read and that they felt that it was quite believable. T/A Drewery’s Do It All, 19 Castle Keep, Hibaldstow, We scored the book from 2/10 to 6/10 (The ‘dire’ member gave it a 0/10) Brigg, North Lincolnshire, DN20 9JG FRED S. MACHIN

The Cathedral grounds were becoming thick with leaves. There was the feeling that autumn has come, seasons of mist and mellow fruitfulness. Golden fields have been harvested and soon some of us will be singing ‘All is safely gathered in’. It’s a time for being thankful for all our blessings, for asking questions about sharing but also for asking ourselves what are the things that matter most.
