Apologies Tracy, my only excuses are
1 - that I always read the end of books to find out what happens, I hate not knowing.
2 - the end went against everything I wanted for Ben, I suppose because I felt sorry for him. So it was interesting hear Patrick speak at St Ives library and explain that he believes that Ben would learn to fall in love with his wife all over again having learned to love, and that Laura would meet a very eligible divorcee at her mother's funeral!

These comments about The Whole Day Through are making me desperate to read it! I'm halfway through the Aerodynamics of Pork though so it will have to wait!
I am delighted to have tickets for Patrick's reading at the Ilkley Literature Festival in October! I wonder if he will also do signing with a chance for a meet and greet afterwards? He's reading from the new book, Gentlemen's Relish which is exciting! Has anyone been fortunate enough to go to one of these before?
Does anyone else think that Rough Music is perfect for a TV adaptation? I can really see it as a two or three part drama. It would be visually stunning with the seaside setting.
I love your writing Patrick - you inspire me.

It's a long time since a book made me burst into tears. The final pages of 'The Fact of Life' did it, though. Goodness...

The Whole Day Through is the first Patrick Gale book I have read, and I loved every page - except the ending.
I had to add an extra chapter of my own in order to get closure.

"The Whole Day Through" is the first book in several years that I have had to read in one sitting. "Rough Music" and "Notes From An Exhibition" were masterly: so realistic yet so surprising. Shades of William Golding, perhaps.
I am about to devour "The Facts of Life": though not in one go.

The Whole Day Through was the first Patrick Gale book I had read and I enjoyed it so much that I rushed out and boughts Notes from An Exhibition which has held me equally spellbound. I now feel that I will not be satisfied until I have read every one of Patrick's novels. Great escapism from the daily grind. I am so pleased I discovered you.

Uh?! I love Patrick Gale's writing. I was so pleased to sink in to the new book "The Whole Day Through". I was hooked and suspended television viewing, household chores etc...Just when I was coming to know the characters and care about what happened to them, it ended; to my mind abruptly and prematurely. I feel a little cheated!

What can I read now that I have finished Whole day Through? Another fantastic, sensitive, page turner with such insight into feelings and relationships. I have a shelf especially for my Patrick Gale collection! There's still some space on it, keep them coming!
Love
Carole

Wish I had an extra pair of eyes, I have slowed down my reading of Notes from and exhibition because I don't want it to end, however I have Rough Music waiting in the wings.
Glad to have been given your book as a gift, I will in turn be gifting it to others. Fondest of wishes for your future.
