May book - The Wives of Los Alamos

Thanks for my copy of this unusual book
I have started it and my question is, what was the impetus to write this book and why did the author choose this writing style?

is there a link to your Phd ?

I've just started it and now I've got used to the writing style I'm finding it hard to put down.

I really enjoyed it even though the style of writing was a first for me. Ashamed to say that the subject matter was fairly new to me and I found it absorbing , loved the way the writer managed to convey so much in a few sentences of very descriptive writing.

I'm not minding the style at all. I haven't got very far yet but I think it's going to be riveting. What a situation to be in! It's like a witness protection programme on a huge scale.

I got mine yesterday. As usual a lovely surprise. I started reading last night and found the style very unusual. I keep waiting for it to change, but maybe it will remain throughout the book. I'm finding it a bit tiresome so far.

Thank you, my copy arrived this morning. Looking forward to reading it.

I`ve started to read my copy, a very different writing style , haven`t come across it before, still not sure if I like it or not.

Mine arrived yesterday and I'm looking forward to starting it shortly.

Thank you for my copy will be starting it tonight

Sorry! I forgot to say thank you for my copy.

Thought I had missed out but my copy arrived yesterday. I have read the first 20 or so pages and am intrigued with the way it has been written. I haven't read the blurb but have guessed what it is about from the title. The way it has been written so far is building up a real creepiness about where the women are going but not sure it is going to carry me through to the end. Still I'm looking forward to trying.

Thank you for my copy which arrived yesterday.. I agree with the comments of eGJ, it is the first time I have read a book in this style. I have also read it through, I felt having been a military family for over 20 years there were a few similarities.........

thank you for my copy, I have started to read it today, interesting concept for a novel, I must admit to not realising that the scientists families were with them during the research.

I thought I might have missed out this time, but my copy of The Wives of Alamo has just arrived. Thank you so much, Gransnet - this promises to be a really interesting read.

How do you all get on with the 1st person plural narrative?

Mine arrived yesterday. Thank you, GNet.

Mine arrive d yesterday; thank you. I sat down and read it in one sitting. An odd style of writing, but one which draws you in right away. It feels autobiographical, even though you are fully aware it is written recently. An interesting read and Tara Shea Nesbit has really tried to capture the atmosphere of the events. Just one small gripe. After the second event she writes that at one party the British toasted the Queen.............. It was still the King then. Apart from that an interesting insight into events 60 -69 years ago!

Thank you, my copy arrived today. Having visited the strange place that is Los Alamos today, I am really looking forward to reading the back story.

My copy came this lunchtime - just in time for the bank holiday weekend. Thank you GN. I love getting these books from the GN book club.

Thank you, my book arrived a this afternoon. Looking forward to reading it this weekend.

Thankyou. I have just got home from a week away visiting family and the bok ws waiting on the door mat. A lovely suprise.

Thank you for my copy, it arrived just before lunchtime, looking forward to reading it. And thanks to Gransnet for introducing me to several other genres of reading matter, different to my usual choices.

Many thanks- The wives of Los Alamos arrived today.
Look forward to reading it.

The postie brought mine this morning - what a lovely treat! I will be away all weekend but I'll catch up when I get back.
