I Read Therefore I Am discussion

According to the Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide the novels of Michele Roberts "combine a sensuous and poetic appreciation of the natural world with an inventive re-imagining of history, religion, the relationships between men and women and those between mother and daughter"
Here is a selection of her novels
The Mistressclass, Reader, I Married Him,Fair Exchange, The Looking Glass: A Novel, Impossible Saints, The Wild Girl, Ignorance, Daughters of the House: A Novel, The Book Of Mrs Noah

I am going to be reading Daughters Of The House which I found in the local charity book shop (yay!)

I got a download of Ignorance for the kindle for 2.99 so will be reading that one - looks good actually so I'm looking forward to it.

Good stuff

I've never heard of her so will have a mooch around and see what I come up with.

For anyone interested, here are some of Robert's poems from her website: http://www.micheleroberts.co.uk/poems...

And this interview with her is a good introduction about her inspiration/influences and the themes of her work: http://www.cercles.com/interviews/rob...

Thanks Laurel - I enjoyed the poems - the mole one reminded me of Hilary. The interview goes a bit over my head at times though. :0)

Thanks for this Laurel, interesting.

@Lee your comment sounds a bit strange, but I know what you mean!

Yes, now I reread it I see that it does!

I'm trying to make a bit more of an effort with our monthly authors so I've checked out a copy of Daughters Of The House and also her memoir Paper Houses: A Memoir Of The 70s And Beyond from the shiny new library in sunderland.
