Thought we might use a thread about what we're reading.
I've just reaxhed the end of a book which contained a convent. Six of the nuns were named, and four of those had similar names - Sisters Marie-Paul, Marie-Pierre, Marie-Marc & Marie-Michel. I do wish àuthors wouldn't do that!

No idea what happened to it. I was the only one to leave reviews!
Just finished The Foundling by Stacey Halls.
Not my usual reading fodder, but I enjoyed it.
The story of a mass kidnapping, mainly from the point of view of the hostages. Once I became accustomed to the slow pace at which the plot unfolded, I enjoyed it very much. We were given insights into the thoughts and back-stories of a cross-section of the cast of characters, and how the weeks of imprisonment affected them in different ways.
After the leisurely pace of almost the entire book, the abrupt ending was a shock, and the epilogue seemed to me very strange and illogical.
I'd give it 8/10.
Has anyone else read the book?
Could it actually mean 'vague' as in imprecise?
