Lynn Parsons - 21/02/2010

Lynn Parsons makes getting out of bed that little bit easier on a Sunday morning and encourages some Sunday morning Sax with a listeners' choice of the perfect saxophone moment track. Plus she'll be opening up the Book Club and discussing this week's choice, A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving. The story is narrated by John Wheelwright from his current home in Canada in 1987. Chopping between the present and the past John reflects on his childhood in Gravesend, New Hampshire and the time he spent with his best friend Owen Meany who accidentally killed John's mother. Have you read this book? If so what did you think? Do you have a favourite bit you'd like to tell us about? What do you think about the characters John Wheelwright and Owen Meany? If you haven't read this one have you read any of John Irving's other books? Email Lynn at [email protected].
