Thrown: SARA COX'S GLORIOUS FEELGOOD NOVEL

Product Information

And as the soft unremarkable lumps of clay are hesitantly, lovingly moulded into delicate vases and majestic pots, so too are the lives of four women. Never does this feeling swell more in my breast than a) after an attempted US coup by a mad toddler president, or b) when such opining is done in the face of The Great Pottery Throw Down (Channel 4). When sexy Scot Sasha introduces his first pottery lesson, he compares the journey of clay from a moist lump to something beautiful with their personal transformations: they will go from strangers to friends, and solve all of their problems along the way.

Sara is known and loved by millions of Radio 2 listeners, where she presents the Sara Cox Show 5-7 pm. I wasn’t sure what to expect but was more than pleasantly surprised with this well told story full of likeable well written characters. Further, there is a disparity between the deemed age of the women, their described personalities and their actual behaviour in the novel. The characters are all really well written and likeable (except Tony - Becky's criminal ex) and there is plenty of comedy.

Sara Cox has used her experience presenting The Pottery Throw Down to produce this great book about a group of strangers brought together by a pottery class at their local community centre. Not that I've read the ending, but I think it's pretty clear to see where this one will go - a nice, romantic story about the strength of a women-led community, and how in small ways we can all change the world (even if all we do is attend a local pottery class).I’ve got nits again from Elsie – little buggers love me, treat my scalp like an-all-you-can-eat- buffet they do.

If you can make something – if you can combine butter, eggs and flour into a cake the shape of a mermaid’s grotto, or bombazine and thread into a halterneck prom dress, or paint, cardboard and glitter into an eye-catching Christmas ornament, I revere you as a god.
