The Handbag and Wellies Yoga Club

Not the authors fault of course, but I expected this to be a fiction read and not a memoir. My bad. I have given up but the voice was cheery enough for me to go back at some point.

I bought this thinking it was a fiction book but it is actually an account of the authors time in her life when she moved to the country in a bid to destress so she could become pregnant. It's a really nice light read and the author comes to an unexpected epiphany which has had a lasting effect on me.

I bought this after reading the author's previous book, Yoga School Drop-Out. I didn't feel it was anywhere near as good. This may seem a bit unfair but if I'm honest, I was bored reading the book. On more than one occasion, I was tempted to stop reading and not bother to finish it. At first I just thought perhaps the author was being a bit self-indulgent with details that were of no consequence and definitely of no interest (perhaps stuff you would write in your diary?) However, I did continue to the end, in the hope that it would get better, but was just left with an empty feeling that time could have been better spend on another book. I don't think it was particularly well written (sorry, Lucy). It's just my opinion; what do I know?

started off real good, then went through a boring stage, lots of yoga terms, which meant nothing to me. story linewas ok , moving from London to the country but cant say I would recommend as an exciting read .

Lucy Edge writes honestly, bravely and wittily about herself and her real- life experiences. Her first novel, Yoga School Dropout,was also great but felt more niche due to how yoga oriented it is. This book however should be a must read for women everywhere whose career is their priority. For as Lucy makes it very clear, one's fertility isn't concerned about waiting for you to 'make it'. Times have changed but our eggs haven't! An inspiring, heartbreaking but equally uplifting read.

The book is good but the condition was not what I expected.

It's 0K. Lots of pages are given over to fertility problems which I didn't expect. Good descriptions of Norfolk though.

I wasn't sure if I will like the second book as it wasn't about India and yoga - which was the reason why I bought Lucy's first book. However, it is very well written, a great read and difficult to put down.
