THE BEHAVIOUR OF PDF, EPUB, EBOOK

Poppy Adams | 320 pages | 02 Jul 2009 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9781844084883 | English | London, United Kingdom Why moths matter

The fall leaves Vivi unable to have children; another catalyst for the events which unfold. And so it ambles on, with secrets gradually becoming exposed, and the relationship between the sisters coming to light. But I was unconvinced. And not just because it was set near Crewkerne, close by where I live in Somerset — which Adams claims is in Dorset, and has a bowling alley. No, the reason I was unconvinced is because The Behaviour of Moths tries to do the unreliable narrator thing, but it all comes in a huge rush with a big twist towards the end. All the details about moths are doubtless engaging, but they seem to have taken the place of a coherent narrative arc. I found the whole thing… how shall I put it… quite bland. The style is almost ubiquitous across novels of this type — and though there were Gothicky elements especially in the depiction of the house which impressed and set the novel a bit apart, for the most part The Behaviour of Moths was a common-or-garden specimen. Not a bad novel by any means, and passes the time adequately, but could have been so much better. And link to my thoughts on them, naturally…. This is my book group's choice for next month! I was excited about it but now I shall manage my expectations accordingly after your review. I had feared the gothic pastiche would wear thin. Oh well, I'll see for myself soon enough! I like the new "books to look into" at the end — just to add to the list making! It's funny — I don't miss it until I pop open the laptop. Then I can't wait to catch up with everybody! You articulated what I felt when I read the book but couldn't put my finger on — I didn't realize that the narrator was supposed to be unreliable until toward the end of the story. For all of the talk of her being "off", she never seemed all that off and I thought we were being put on. Until the end, that is …. I'm one of those who didn't like this one. I actually couldn't finish it. I didn't care for any of the characters and the information about moths was just a tad too much. But yes, it did have all the elements of a book I'd love. Too bad it just didn't cut it. I think you said it right by saying it was 'bland'. Sorry you found this bland. It just shows we can't all like the same books all the time — I loved this book. One aspect I found interesting was how the two sisters had different memories of their childhood and the events of the past. That rang true as it was like that for my sister and me — not anything else about the story though, thank goodness, and it was amazing how our memories differed. It bothers me when I come across a reference to a place I know in a novel and the author hasn't got the facts right or has altered them, so maybe that coloured your view? I thought right from the start of the book that there was something different about Ginny and that all was not as it seemed. For 'bowling alley' maybe read 'skittle alley' — of which the area boasts several? I am intrigues by the bell tower snippet — is the moral of that incident 'don't eat toast in high places'?! I am one of the very few people left who have yet to read this book and I too have a review hardback languishing on my TBR thats been there forever but even though it seems my perfect book I have tried it twice and just not quite been in the mood. S Copycat hahahahaha, joking, glad you liked the suggestions enough to do some too! They have proved a hit with my readers so far! I know I enjoyed this when I read it last year but very little of its sticks in my mind, so guess it was one of those books that you read and move on from …I must try the Angela Young which I've had for ages and haven't started, something about its appearance slightly puts me off — feeble of me, I know, because it's had such very good reviews. Rachel — well, lots of people enjoyed, so good luck! I've just been given another Gothicky novel, so I'm hoping I'll fare better…. Margaret — well, I'm very glad someone enjoyed it! I don't think the place thing put me off, I was only teasing about that I often finish books without having noticed where they're set, it tends not to factor with me — you are obviously a more careful reader than me, to spot the signs early on! Simon S — I know, completely copying, haha! Facebook Twitter. Give Feedback External Websites. Let us know if you have suggestions to improve this article requires login. External Websites.

I had a dream of a large dark brown moth flying towards the sun rising. Everything glittered. What does that mean? Thank you. Hi there! So I had this dream where this moth, who started out as only slightly big, messed with my dreams. It nestled itself within our ceiling. As it kept feeding on my fake happiness, it got bigger and dirtier. I pointed out to my in the dream friends that these things around me were all not real. The moth turned from its nest and started to attack me. My friend told me that I had to kill it if I wanted to get out. I slashed the moth in half with a giant fountain pen, and a giant red? My friends congratulated me, but while I was happy about it, they suddenly said none of this, not even they were real. Them they and everything else slowly turned into worms or larvae, even the ceiling. The worms fell to the floor and slowly crawled away to the darkness. Then I woke up. Any interpretations please? Just today, upon waking up, I noticed on my bedroom ceiling a white moth. It was stationary, and its wings were open as wide as possible. I honestly thought it was dead or had died some time during the previous evening. A member had told me that our cat had been chasing it the previous evening. It took refuge in my bedroom. It flew off quickly. I managed to catch it in a bathroom cup and it was released out an open bathroom window. It flew off once outside in the open air. I sure could use some good news. I dreamed that a Goddess was seated at the head of a table surrounded by me and several other people, random strangers and she chose me to send a to. It landed on my hand and it was huge, twice the size of my hand. I was instructed to make this circle using four pieces of furniture in a certain manner, square, and the people would round it out at the four corners. Everything is connected, I am very pleased to read this. I have had a medium sized white moth only appear when I am in the room, per my husband, the moth is for me. I feel better, second guessing my self has always been an issue. Thanks for this information, Goddess Bless. I was dreaming i was at school, when suddenly i was surrounded my moths flying everywhere in the air around me. They scratched and tickled my skin, it was peaceful but also scary. There were other people there watching horrified as it happened. We were all outside on the school track during gym. I was talking with a friend when i noticed just a few at first, but then there where so many i couldnt see past them. I just had an amazing experience, this moth, while I was frantically sorting out art coursework, simply began sitting on my desk, flitting around, before stopping still and sitting on my palm, I was on a Face call with a friend, and I showed him the moth with no problems, moving my hand or anything, it was simply content to sit with me, it flew off later, but about an hour passed, and it came back, floating infront of my face, flitting about my body before landing on my chest, walking along my arm and onto my hand again. It felt very calming and peaceful. I loved it. I woke up very early this morning thinking about this dream I had and need to know what it means. I dreamed of huge white beautiful moth wings I was supposed to wear to fly. But aware of the owl that was nearby watching and waiting for the opportunity to hunt the great moth wings. So I was reluntant in fear of the owl. I still became great moth in desire to fly and that moment I became great moth. I flew among trees half blind And feared the owl but I got away. Owls can mean good in dreams so I wondered about this dream. God bless. I too had an experience with a moth last night bright yellow and hit of brown thro it.. I never worry I just go and do it ,, So maybe that lovely moth was my reason for not going.. I had a long dream part of it had a lot of moths with red furry backs fluttering around a lobby of a building and it was annoying. The dream says moths symbolize interfering or annoying people and the night before i had a visit from a friend who came back after long months and he was being annoying also ive had thoughts and memories that i dont want because its negative but maybe i should try to reconcile as ive let myself hold grudges about this before. In my dream, I saw a giant rainbow moth with no legs land in front of me on the ground. I looked down at it and it fly upward then landed again. I helped it up a couple times. The last time I helped, it flew towards a house and disappeared. What does it mean? It was a moth that was very detailed and intricate almost as if the wings were made of lace. The moth was larger then my hand. It flew behind the curtain on the window and the moon was shining on the Other side of the window that made the moths silhouette through the curtain. I found a moth when I came into work and made sure it flew out the window. A few minutes later that same moth came back in! I knew there was a meaning to it but I didnt look it up. Then another few minutes passed by and somehow a moth three times the size appeared right on my window trying to fly out! So, I remained calm and you know it was a huge moth. And it was somehow flapping in slow motion that I could actually see how the colors are Picasso like drawn to the wing. It was not that huge though just like the size of your palm. But it was eeky. Except when I got overwhelmed with the blending colors of the wing you know? Actually, it is so right! A few minutes ago, two moths flew into my room while i had my window open for a cigarette. One is a pale color and the other is a darker brown, both are pretty big. They each landed on separate walls of the room in the exact same position. I just came into my room after having a really intense and emotional conversarion with my mom hence the need for a cigarette. I just dont know if it means anything or not, i mean all of the things ive read on here seem to corrolate well with how ive been feeling lately, and even the subject me and my mom were discussing. Theyre still sitting in here, theyre very calming and admireable, its like theyre working together. In my dream my cousin was trying to fish with the large green moth and I got it from him and held it in my hands and felt like the moth was at peace and I told my cousin to go dig some worms and fish with worms and then I let the moth go. Stood staring into thin air and suddenly felt something crawl up my leg, it was a grey and black moth with some red patches. Felt really great. Can we get an update? But this morning, I had a moth fly on me in a county building. Not once, but twice. I tried to let it outside but it kept flying off of my paper. Then I just left it there and a man walked by and squished him. It was a gray mouth with black on the wings. I felt a little peace after it landed on me. It was so cute… What could this possibly mean? This morning I dreamed I had a small black moth tattooed on my left thigh and the room I was in also had a large moth carving high on the wall towards the ceiling which was also black… Interesting. I dreamt of a medium sized brown moth landing in a white surface then it made a noise like a cat. I saw a and a moth in my bedroom, I felt really scared and I tried to make them leave through my door but I ended up ripping off the wings of the moth so it walked out of my room while the butterfly left by choice. The tiniest little moth just followed me all the way into my room, maybe about ft. Wish me luck. The moth in my dream was 3 winged. It was black with bright blue spots. It was covering my face my mouth in particular. But I could still speak. What does this mean. I was skiing down a mountain when suddenly I noticed a giant moth in front of me. When I skiied towards it, the moth opened its wings wide, blocking my path. I tried to ski around the moth but suddenly it became airborne and engulfed me in its wings. The second I touched the moth body, the moth and I both burst in into flame. Out of the ashes, many tiny moths were reborn and flew up into the sky in a giant black cloud. Can someone please help me interpret my dream? I read somewhere that a cloud of moths means that I will die in 7 days and I am very scared. I dreamed of the moths 3 days ago. Am I going to die?!?!?!?!?! I went back to Secondary School, which I have finished already in real life. The night before the was a moth in my dream. I dreamt that a moth was removed from my ear which was so uncomfortable for me before it was removed. What does it mean please? At work, on the street inside my car etc. Followed it around until I put it in a box and let it out in the balcony. Today just right now happened the same thing this one was black, so I put it in a box and let it out on the balcony. I decided to look up the meaning… and found all of this. I let you know what happened… I know there is a very specific message. I was showering and saw the moth outside the shower curtain. I got news my Dad was at the end of his life, I stayed at his care home for 5 days until he passed away then with family for 3 more nights after he died to arrange the funeral. When I eventually got back to my own house 8 days later which is 30 miles away a huge dark moth came flying towards me from a bag I keep for recycling paper and plastic. It circled my head a few times then frantically rested above a picture of my Dad on the wall. My heart was racing. The following morning the larger one was nowhere to be seen yet the slightly smaller one flighted around my kitchen I thought of the 2nd one being my mum who died 12 years ago. I then discovered the larger one was resting on my bedroom carpet whilst the smaller one rested in the kitchen. Dads funeral was 9 days after he passed away. I was cleaning the kitchen window sill when I noticed the small one was dead but attached to the cloth, then I wondered about the larger one. Moths - Facts, Information & Moth Habitat
