I think subjects like this require a lot of thought and maturity to tackle that some authors don't have. Do you think the book's central conflict, Julia and Ralph, was handled "well"? Does it ask the question in a thoughtful way? I hope so, I was thinking of reading it!<br /><br /><a href="https://guardianpools.wordpress.com/2015/09/23/swimming-pools-top-3-pool-designs-that-suit-any-active-lifestyle/" rel="nofollow">Bernice Cunningham @ Guardian Industries</a>Bernice Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752513421633442681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-35055084959488688682014-09-17T19:30:37.799-04:002014-09-17T19:30:37.799-04:00Ohmigosh!

I believe many international readers may overlook this aspect.<br />Thanks for responding!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-67927240204616373522014-07-16T18:29:28.022-04:002014-07-16T18:29:28.022-04:00Good Grief, Kathy!

Yikes--sincere regret! <br />I was responding to your comment that the book did not sound like one for you--you said it so, so much better.<br />And my response is:<br /> Kathy, I will say this for Summer House; it's certainly not a "cozy" thriller. But I do hope and wish that more people would read it because I'm not sorry I read it. I just wish I knew where Herman Koch was going with it. I sincerely wish to know.<br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-89594772922674187632014-07-14T23:56:51.304-04:002014-07-14T23:56:51.304-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-71611247966857318752014-07-14T18:42:22.405-04:002014-07-14T18:42:22.405-04:00Hi, JoAnn,
I am sorry that my review has made you ...Hi, JoAnn,<br />I am sorry that my review has made you have second thoughts about reading Summer House. I can see why you (or I) wouldn't want to, but it would be interesting to have another person's point of view about the book. Perhaps I am not seeing things clearly? Perhaps you would have a different take on it. It would be fun to compare notes about it.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-21703523097171814732014-07-14T10:18:08.557-04:002014-07-14T10:18:08.557-04:00Wow!

It may be one of those books that I start and then can't look away, even if I want to...JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.com
