Trespass Audiobook

" Received this as a Christmas gift last year and finally had the time to read it this Christmas. She's a wonderful writer. Now curious about her other work. "

" Rose Tremain has become one of my favorite writers. I'm sure this book must have some flaws, but it has some breathtaking moments, such as a description of horse-back riding I want to copy to mail to sister and give to my boss. The third of her books I've read, and loved each one more than the last. "

" I didn't expect I would like it this much. It's a wonderful story. "

" Good at character sketches and creating a mood. Not that good at general plot, even though the prose reads very nicely and stays fairly engaging. "

" This was a bit of a disappointment. In fact, I almost gave it up with just a few dozen pages to go. The pacing was... plodding. I thought it would pick up as the denouement arrived, but it didn't. After awhile I found I didn't really care how it all ended and what happened to any of the characters. "

" Well written story, evocative landscape and good characters, however, a little predictable towards the end. "

" I didn't like a single character in this book. I only stuck with it as long as I did because Juliet Stevenson was reading the audiobook, but I ended up getting a print copy and skimming the last half. "

" 3.5 but not quite 4. "

" Slow, but some interesting characters "

" Trespass is a book about siblings and attachment. Beautifully written and mysterious. "

" Easy read.Very descriptive of the French countryside. "

" It's all in the writing.... Yes it's another book based on dysfunctional families, but this one had me from page one. I love this author! "

" Rather a sad story, but beautifully written, as usual, by Rose Tremain. "

" As usual, so well-written, and touching many truths. I read it very fast, but also was very saddened by it. "

" Interesting character study and thriller. Would like to read RESTORATION by this author. "

" A story of two dysfunctional sets of siblings, one raised in England, the other in France. One brother is hoping to sell his property to the other brother, but then he mysteriously disappears. Wrapped in shrouded detail, the silent valley comes to life though Rose Tremain's pen. Put it on your list! "

" Well, the grammar seemed to be correct. "

" So many different meanings of the word 'trespass' are explored here. Excellent characterisation and chilling suspense! "

" very dark. Well written but not enjoyable. "

" Started off really slow, then grabbed my attention, was pretty good, and not that predictable "

" Nothing particularly wrong with this, but nothing special about it either. Utterly forgettable. I'm mystified as to how it made it onto the Booker longlist. "

" Such a well written story. It was full of suspense and mystery, really intriguing, full of loveable, and hateable, characters, and really engaging. I love Tremain! "

" A pleasantly dark diversion, with characters who's interactions spark (literally) a lively plot. Comic, scary and satisfying. "

" Overall I enjoyed the book, but I thought it could have ended better. To me, it had one of those endings where someone just walks out of the room and you're left going - WHAT? "

" 3 because I finished it and the writing is good (it must be or I would not have finished it), but I did not like it. Picked it up because of Provence setting (actually Central Massif), but the story and the people are too grim. "

" This book was okay... A quick, easy read that gets fairly suspenseful at parts. And it paints a nice picture of rural Southern France. But I wasn't overwhelmed. "

" Brilliant writer - just discovered her when I picked up and read her short story collection The Darkness of Wallis Simpson. "

" Excellent writing and an interesting story but tough to like a book where all of the characters are deeply unlikeable. "

" A theme of childhood damage and sibling love/hate runs through the book climaxing in a whodunnit. Well written and whilst none of the characters is particularly likeable I did care about them and how they ended up. Well up to her usual standard! "

" I was really looking forward to reading this book but ended up slightly disappointed. The plot had potential but the characters were never given the scope to develop and were all slightly weak. "
