It just arrives, chelseababy. Saying that, I'm not holding my breath this time, as I think I forgot to apply.....

chelseababy Fri 04-Sep-15 20:58:03

Thanks Maggie we'll both have to wait and see!

Maggiemaybe Fri 04-Sep-15 23:41:47

smile I think you'll have more chance than me, unless I had a senior moment and applied for the book when I was half-asleep.

I`ve just finished reading Ridley Road. I was 19 in 1962, and never realised how rife anti semitism was at that time, so this book was an eye opener for me.

merlotgran Sun 06-Sep-15 20:55:15

Received mine yesterday, thank you. Looking forward to getting stuck in tomorrow.

prefect Sun 06-Sep-15 21:14:55

Many thanks for my copy - have started it and already learned from it. Will look forward to the discussion.

Cherrytree59 Sun 06-Sep-15 22:15:41

I have read the book and say yes it was an eye opener .esp as so close to the end of the war.

Victoria08 Mon 07-Sep-15 11:25:26

Thanks for my free copy. Haven't had chance to read it yet as slow reader, but will leave a review as soon as I've finished it. Thank you once again.
