The malleability of memories part is great, when Rosemary's parents tell her their version. I think it would make a great book for undergrad psychology students to read and discuss in light of lots of different topics.

LindsD Nov 2014 11:18pm, 30 Nov 2014 3,300 posts	Quote Pin LindsD I really liked it too, and found it v thought-provoking. I didn't know or guess the twist and was really pleased that I didn't. Good choice, McG. Thanks.

I didn't initially like the fern twist but got over that within a few pages then really liked the diversion the book took. I rea the book in a little over 48 hrs which suggests I enjoyed it.

pink fairy Dec 2014 5:07pm, 8 Dec 2014 295 posts	Quote Pin pink fairy Finally started and finished this one. I enjoyed it, I didn't know the twist and was glad I didn't. I thought the placing of the twist (about 1/4 way through) was interesting- any later and it would have felt stretched I think. I've infuriated my OH whilst reading it as he kept asking me what it was about but I couldn't tell him without giving it away so I just said it was about a woman talking about her family growing up. What did people think about the ending? I was disappointed with it- it felt a bit too 'happy ever after' that glossed over a lot
