A review by jmatkinson1
All Together Now by Gill Hornby
3.0
Bridgeford is a small country town in England. Like many similar it has become a dormitory town for commuters and the town centre is fading. Small community groups exist but are dwindling, one of these is the Bridgeford Community Choir. The stories of some of the members, new and old, intertwine to give a portrait of small town life.
In a similar way to her previous book, 'The Hive', Hornby focuses on the lives of a small group of people drawn together by common purpose. Her writing is unchallenging and the stories predictable but that doesn't make this a bad book. For those looking for a simple, enjoyable, entertaining read this fits the bill perfectly.
