Thrown: SARA COX'S GLORIOUS FEELGOOD NOVEL

Product Information

There is yet so much potential, given the breadth of topics which can be explored, such as the empty nest syndrome, the emerging skeletons within a marriage and childlessness. Not to mention the theme of pottery, which actually can be a nice parallel of the four main protagonists shaping themselves further.

Thrown is the debut novel by broadcaster Sara Cox and mainly concerns a group of local women who enrol on a course of pottery to be held in the local, and very run down, community centre. The women are a disparate group, each with problems of their own, ranging from childlessness, death and criminal ex-husbands, to a variety of emotionally charged dilemmas.

I listen to more audiobooks. I’m not really good with my own thoughts in a quiet room – I don’t know if it’s something I should be worried about. When I’m doing mundane things, I just want a little chat going on in my ear. Likable, largely middle-class men in their 50s are my thing at the moment. I’ve got Louis Theroux, Adam Buxton, David Mitchell and not remotely middle-class Bob Mortimer, whose And Away autobiography is great. The assorted neighbours come together to try out a new skill, under the watchful eye of their charismatic teacher, Sasha. 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. Concealed passions and heartaches are uncovered, relationships shattered and formed, and the possibility for transformation is revealed.

And then – and here is the thing about all these shows – they just make them. They take formless lumps of clay and turn them into domes resembling beehives, homages to beloved rose gardens, grandfathers and remembered beaches, and decorate their sets with scenes from Treasure Island, recreations of motorbike trips down Route 66 and miniature sculptures of adored dogs. The fast and furious goblet-making session brings a nice change of pace while we wait for the big stuff to be fired, then glazed (“Everyone needs to wax their bottoms,” they are reminded, regarding their fondue pots, because we are nothing without our entendres), then fired again. Young Alon throws some metal oxide on his acorn knobs, too. “Bold move,” says Rich, soberly. It is exactly the level of suspense we need in these tumultuous times.

Oh my GOD, it's GORGEOUS. Funny, warm, all about people. Has the same generosity-of-spirit she does. You'll LOVE it!" - Marian Keyes Don’t get me started. I’ve been in London longer than I lived up north but on my dad’s side I come from generations and generations of farmers and then it’s screeched to a halt with us five – we’re lawyers and artists and NHS workers. I think a bit of that might come through in my next book. The dream is a smallholding one day – I’ve got a horse now, Nelly, so I’m getting there. She’s really my escape. In March 2010, Cox went on maternity leave for the third time, leaving her show in the hands of the newest Radio 1 presenter, Matt Edmondson. [11] She returned to the station on 9 August 2010 to cover for Fearne Cotton for three weeks. Cox made a self-confessed unexpected return to the breakfast show on 2 and 3 September 2010, as she sat in for the unwell Chris Moyles. [12] I think this book was pretty much what I expected from Sara Cox - light hearted, humorous (but not lol) and easy to whizz through. However, it was also vacuous. The characters were boring and the plot predictable and although I’m sure some will enjoy the simple escapism and sweet story of women becoming friends through their pottery class, there just wasn’t enough to capture my attention. As an argument for the therapeutic powers of pot-throwing, it’s certainly effective. But as the opening salvo from Cox the novelist, it’s distinctly less convincing. Although she supposedly switches between four different points of view, her third-person narration remains in the same brisk voice – sometimes humorous, seldom distinctive. So why not reduce the cast list and add more depth to the characterisation?
