February read

The staff book group read Voyage of Innocence by Elizabeth Edmondson as our February book. It is set in 1930s and is about a trio of girls who become friends at Oxford University and their lives from then on. It is set against the background of the rise of the Nazi in Germany and the depression and communism in Britain. We found the start of the book confusing as it is a flashforward which introduces the main characters, then the story tracks back several year. Most people liked it when they got into the book and they felt that it was a useful insight how different people's attitudes were in those days. We gave it 6 1/2 out of 10.
