I don't mean to pre-empt our discussion of The Mysteries of Glass
which is set for Saturday 8th. November, and "caveat lector" should perhaps be invoked here, but 100 pages in I am very taken with this book and looking to see how it proceeds and what else - apart from the excellent Reading in Bed
- Sue Gee has written. (You can watch a short interview with her here).

I've read and enjoyed them all, but for me, the stand-out ones (apart from The Mysteries of Glass) were Earth and Heaven and The Hours of the Night. She often makes me cry and I think she writes like an angel - a few light touches and you're there.

I haven't been able to locate a library copy yet, but I'm trying - honest!

I've just finished the book. Thanks for the link to "The Authors' Lounge" - most interesting!

I agree with Carol. I've loved all her books, especially The Hours of the Night. The Mysteries of Glass is lovely, a very delicate love story. She reminds me a little of Penelope Lively, another author who tells a story very simply & very well.
