I suppose four of six I'd liked/wanted isn't bad?
The Enright and Grenville are good reads but not my favourites of their work - wondered if they were carried by their other books / body of work rather than this book? IDK 🤷♀️🤷♀️

Leniverse Yes, I wonder the same. But honestly, that might be reason to longlist them, but not shortlist. I'm baffled. Especially about Dolly. 2w
TheKidUpstairs @Leniverse Dolly Maunder was a surprise for me, too. It was a good read, but nothing special. Definitely not Shortlist material! 2w
charl08 @Leniverse exactly! @TheKidUpstairs I'm not alone 😀 2w

charl08 I'm rubbish at remembering to tag! @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain 2w
squirrelbrain Yes, I had 4 of the 6 as well. And I‘m surprised about Dolly. I pretty much expected the Enright to be there though 2w
AnneCecilie I haven‘t read any Grenville before and find that Dolly is growing on me and is a book I keep thinking about 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures The Wren was the first I read of these and I cannot tell you what it was about. It had so little impact on me I cannot remember a thing. 2w
BarbaraBB 4 out of 6 is good but my two favorites are missing though! I still need to read Dolly! 2w
charl08 @squirrelbrain maybe I should reread the Enright. 2w
charl08 @AnneCecilie glad she has some fans! 2w
charl08 @AnneCecilie (Dolly, not Grenville, I mean - I've enjoyed her other books more) 2w
charl08 @ChaoticMissAdventures I remember it - I was impressed how she wrote the yp's voice. But I've liked (some of) her earlier books more. 2w
charl08 @BarbaraBB hope you can find a copy - would love to hear more comments about it. 2w
