Work detailsFaith Fox by Jane Gardam (1996)
None. Did not enjoy this as much as Flight of the Maiden's or Old filth. A very "busy" novel stretched thin over too many lightly sketched characters. Did not finish but will return to it again.  britalcast | Jun 6, 2011 |  Great book with quirky characters! (  ) briannad84 | Mar 6, 2011 | did not make it thru (  ) GJbean | Jul 29, 2010 | An enjoyable read with some brilliant set pieces and elements reminiscent of her other novels, especially the Yorkshire setting of God on the Rocks, school setting of Bilgewater and the retired colonials of Old Filth. There are an interesting set of contrasting characters, some of whom work better than others, but Jocasta and Jack did not work for me. An ensemble piece that does not quite come off and makes you want more on individual characters - so many half told stories, beautifully sketched in - but it does not come together. (  )1  CarltonC | Dec 14, 2008 | This book had a couple of wonderful chapters right smack in the middle of the book & another wonderful chapter at the end, but for the most part there were too many not particularly likable or interesting, mostly aristocratic English characters not sufficiently bound by a compelling story for me to get caught up in these few months of their lives after the one character who binds them together dies in childbirth.
