There is no doubt that they had a lot of love to give and if they had reported what had happened and it had transpired that the mother was also dead, Lucy’s life would have been a much less happy one. We felt that Isobel’s decision was influenced by the fact that she had just lost a baby of her own, and also that she had seen the orphanage her friend’s baby had been sent to and knew what would happen if both parents had died and she and Tom didn’t keep the baby. We spent a lot of time discussing whether Tom and Isobel did the right thing in keeping the baby. We liked the style of the writing and found it easy to read. It was compared to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which has been our favourite book so far.
Despite this, the discussion was lively and we all enjoyed the lemon cake which Amy brought along!Įverybody enjoyed this book. There were only five people present at this month’s meeting due to a lot of members being on holiday or having other commitments.
