The Luminaries

Not a song title today a book title instead! I don’t know if any of you watched the first episode of The Luminaries last night but when I saw it was on it brought a smile to my face. It was a book we did for Book Club. It is a weighty tome and from what I recall one or two of our bookies didn’t finish it. Although it was a Booker prize winner the consensus amongst our group you could start reading at page 465! (You need to have read it to understand this point!) Will be interested to see how the T.V. goes on recreating the novel. We did drive through Hokitka where the book is set when we were in New Zealand.
