Not as involving as her other books

I am a big fan of Joanna Trollope's writing but it took me three attempts to get into this one and I don't think I've ever got to the last chapter. Whilst most of her characters are well rounded and on the whole, likeable, I found this novel a little disjointed compared to her others, which I could not put down. There seem to be so many strands to the storyline and to my mind, even too many characters spread too thinly. If you're new to Joanna Trollope's work, start with "Other People's Children" or "The Best of Friends" then work round to this one. Not a bad book, by any means, but not a favourite.

Being both a church musician and a certified "anglophile", I found The Choir to be a wonderful book. Joanna Trollope gives in-depth character development and a very true-to-life slice of life in a Cathedral Close. This was my first read of her work and have since read 5 more of her books. Give yourself a treat and start your weekend with "The Choir" !
