I just finished reading this and there was so much I liked about it! I have to admit it made me somewhat obsessed with the symbolism of crows and I still can't get the "alternative" snowglobes out of my mind....great book!

I just bought this book for $1.99! I jumped on here right away and was happy to see you had made a review! We have similar taste in books. I can't wait to read it!

Okay, this is really funny, because I just read this book and immediately wanted to read The Goldfinch after haha. I’ll let you know if I also feel the same way as you, that the feeling is the same for both books.

Your review was great (& loved the stick mic!!). This is the only book I isn't get around to on the shortlist, but I just can't get enthusiastic about reading it for some reason. Of the shortlist, sorrow and bliss and the bread the devil knead were my favourites. Of the overall list, I loved paper palace so much!

Thank you! This makes me even more excited to read The Bread the Devil Knead and I've heard such great things about Sorrow and Bliss!

This is the most compelling review of this book that I've seen. Now that it has officially won the women's prize, will I pick it up? Time will tell.

I thought it was just okay and I was surprised this won the Women’s Prize. I’m going to pick it up again and take my time with it to see if I get more out of it on a second reading.

Is the pen necessary to enjoy the book to its fullest? I only have crayon.

Maybe the pen is not necessary, but it is preferred. However, I believe a crayon would be a suitable substitute

I didn't even think this one was going to win based off of the reviews that I've seen about the other books, but I'm so glad it did! (Although I guess that's tough to say considering I've only read one other of the shortlist and would have also been happy if it won lol)

Cool timing for this review- I look forward to reading it now that it's the winner and watching your review! Did you like her previous book better?

Haha very happy with the timing! That's a good question! I don't think I would be able to say for sure without rereading A Tale for the Time Being, but I think I did slightly prefer it to this one
