As for the book, there were some divided opinions and I was quite glad to realise I was not the only one who hadn't finished reading the book prior to the meeting. Judging from the comments being passed around, many of the group found the book a little confusing, in the respect that it appeared to jump from the present to the past within a couple of sentences or paragraphs, without the reader realising this at first. It was a book I wasn't personally keen to keep reading after the first few chapters, but having said that, I continued on and did become more engrossed and will now try to find the time to finish it.
In relation to the tile of the book, the question "what actually is a harrow" was raised and this brought upon some varying responses. Due to the nature of the storyline I believe it projects the meaning of something painful and distressing, as in a "harrowing experience".
Overall, the get together with the members of the Between The Lines Bookclub was enjoyable and I hope to catch up with you all again in the New Year.
