Out of Touch: April Book Club

I enjoyed this book, which was a gentle read perfectly suited to sitting in the garden in the sun. I found all the characters to be believable and most of them likeable, the plot moved along at a good pace, alternating between the UK and the US, and for a welcome change there were no dramatic shock horror plot twists or time shifts. I'd certainly read more by this author.

I'd like to ask the author whether she has lived in New York. She really caught the essence of it in the chapters featuring Michael and his family.

Thank you again for the book and for the Book Club itself, GNHQ. It's definitely the best of Gransnet at the moment and I hope it can continue as things are.

I have struggled a bit to keep my interest in this book but seem to be a lone voice so it must be me!!!

I received my copy last week. I’m enjoying it hugely . It is developing nicely and I don’t want it to finish.

Thank you for my book.
I thoroughly enjoyed it particularly as the relationships between the characters played out. I felt there was an honesty about complicated family relationships that you rarely see in literature.
My question would be to what extent the distancing of family relationships in her personal experience fed into the story.

Out of Touch is a brilliant read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. First book that I have started and finshed since lockdown began. The characters were so believable and I feel that I really got to know them. I loved the relationship between Ava and Sam. I hope that it will be on Book at Bedtime, I love listening to a story. American Dirt is on at the moment...last months free giveaway!
I would like to ask the author if she ever draws on people that she knows to base her characters on?
Thankyou again, fabulous book!!

Thank you for my book. Such a relief to have something new to read. I look forward to getting stuck in.

I loved this book from beginning to end, I’ve read it whilst lying in the garden today in glorious sunshine, a joy to read!

I’d love to know what inspired you to write it.
I enjoyed the fact that the characters were believable and found myself drawn in by them.

I look forward to hopefully read more by Haleh Agar.

Really enjoyed this book, quite a complex subject but still an enjoyable read. The ending was just right I really felt for Ava.

A copy of this arrived in the post today. I’ve not had any notification, but I assume this is where it’s come from. I will start it when I finish my current read and report back.
Thanks!

I found this book really absorbing, so much so that I finished it within a few hours of receiving it! The story explores some complex family dynamics while remaining very readable and enjoyable. I particularly warmed to Ava and I found her relationship with Sam really heart-warming. Without giving too much away, I felt that the author wrapped up the story perfectly and the ending felt very satisfying.

My questions for author:
What inspired you to write this book?
Which character (or characters) do you most identify with and why?

I received my copy this morning, must finish my current read before starting it. It does sound as if I’m going to enjoy it. Thank you

Thank you so much for my copy of Out of Touch which the postie carefully laid on the front doorstep, rang the bell and hastily retreated! What a lovely way to brighten up a dull cool day here in Norwich! I will let you have my comments in due course.

Thank you.
Mine has arrived today. Good timing as I've just finished a book. Many thanks to GN & the publishers.

Thank you for my copy of “ Out of Touch” I shall certainly have plenty of time on my hands to read and review it! ?

I've had notification from the publishers that I've been lucky enough to win a copy, so thank you, I'll look forward to reading it.
